Worker's Compensation Is What We Do
Quite frequently workers are injured on the job or on construction sites through
no fault of their own. Nevertheless, lifelong health and financial problems can
arise from job injuries.
Construction sites often have workers from many
different trades working on job sites. This special type of work environment
increases the risk that the general contractor or any number of sub-contractors
may accidentally cause a worker to be seriously injured.
An injured
worker may file a workers’ compensation claim with the department of Labor and
Industries if injured in Washington State. But it’s important to emphasize that
a job injury on a construction site may also involve a “third party
claim”.
A “third party claim” allows an injured worker to recover general
damages on top and in addition to a recovery under worker compensation benefits.
In other words, workers may have a workers’ compensation claim and a third party
claim.
If you were injured by the negligence of another on a construction
site or while on the job it is important that you contact an experienced lawyer
for assistance. We offer a free phone consultation and case evaluation to
determine if you have a viable claim. We can be reached by calling
