A construction site accident can be extremely serious, and may cause permanent disability, loss of a limb, blindness, head injury, back and neck injuries, fractured or broken bones, or even death. Often the medical bills will be large, and there may be a long period of disability and lost wages. Workers’ compensation may pay for some of the medical bills and lost earnings. Construction workers are often subject to falls from heights, ladder and scaffolding accidents, power tool and machinery injuries, burns from fires or chemicals, explosions, electrical shock, truck and heavy equipment accidents or trench collapses.

Report Your Construction Injury

If you suffered an injury at work, you have the right to workers’ compensation benefits. It is important to report your injury to your employer as soon as possible. If your employer or its insurance provider denied your claim or if you have a serious injury, an experienced North Carolina workers’ comp attorney can help you get through the complex legal and medical procedures required in a North Carolina workers’ compensation case in order to allow you to focus on recovery.
