Did you suffer permanent injuries when you fell from a ladder or scaffold? Permanent injuries may be compensated as part of a workers’ compensation claim. If a third-party is at fault, you may also claim damages for pain and suffering through a personal injury claim.
Common scaffolding injuries include:
If you have a compensable claim, the insurance carrier should cover your medical care up until you reach maximum medical improvement. When there are permanent injuries, you may claim the appropriate award for the injury. Identifying injuries and providing the appropriate medical documentation is critical to ensuring that you truly receive fair compensation. Our lawyers can ensure that you are treated fairly in all aspects including covered treatment.
You may be able to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. For a third party claim to apply, another party, besides your employer, must have been negligent. If the claim is because of a defective product, strict liability may apply.
