Our Boca Raton Construction Accident Attorneys Lead Workers’ Compensation Claims
The construction industry is the single most dangerous sector in Florida. It’s no coincidence that our firm has represented many injured construction workers. We work to serve Boca Raton’s most vulnerable—tough as they are, construction workers are more frequently injured than most.
Many of the injured construction workers we represent seek compensation through the workers’ compensation process, which requires us to:
Deal with Insurers for You
Even if you have dealt with insurance adjusters before, you:
- May not have dealt with them recently
- May not have dealt with the specific insurance company handling your claim
- May recognize the potential risks of dealing directly with insurers
- May want to focus on your health rather than going back and forth with insurers
You shouldn’t have to focus on anything but your health. Hiring our firm ensures that your swift recovery remains the priority.
Overcome All Bad-Faith Insurance Tactics
Insurance companies, unfortunately, do not always do what is right.
Instead, they often:
- Accuse injured workers of horseplay, being impaired, and engaging in other actions that can void coverage
- Claim that the injured worker’s injuries happened before the accident in question
- Offer lowball settlements and do not negotiate in good faith
Our lawyers know these tactics well and will address them appropriately so you don’t have to.
Analyze Your Employer’s Workers’ Comp Policy
We need to know that your employer has workers’ compensation insurance. We also need to know the policy details, including coverage limits.
Your Boca Raton construction accident attorney will secure a copy of the policy as soon as possible so we can move forward with your claim.
Document Your Losses
Our team will prove how your construction accident has diminished your life, and we may use:
- X-rays, photographs, MRIs, and other images showing your injuries
- Your doctors’ diagnoses of your injuries
- Mental health experts’ diagnoses of conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Testimony from your doctor(s) and employer stating that you cannot work because of your injuries
- Past income records showing the professional cost of your accident
Your construction accident lawyer will secure proof of both your economic and non-economic damages, which are both relevant to your case in Boca Raton.
Engage the Insurer in Settlement Negotiations
We demand that insurance companies honor their obligations to injured construction workers. Your lawyer will prepare vigorously and present the most compelling settlement demands possible.
If the insurance company does not meet our initial demands, we are ready to negotiate tirelessly for you.
Our Lawyers Also Lead Lawsuits Against Third Parties Who Cause Construction Accidents
Workers’ compensation claims are one way to secure money for injured workers, but it’s not the only option.
Injured workers have grounds to file a lawsuit if:
- Your employer does not have workers’ compensation insurance, either because they are not required to, they let their policy lapse, or they decided not to purchase insurance in violation of Florida law
- Your construction accident happened because of a third party’s negligence, as workers’ compensation insurance does not generally protect third parties
As an example, if a driver hits you while you are working on a construction site, you can sue that driver if their insurance does not cover your losses. Our attorneys will evaluate your unique circumstances, explain your options, and help you choose the right course of action.
Falls, slips, and trips are some of the most common injuries in the construction industry. However, we have represented clients injured from many different hazards. Whatever the details of your case are, our lawyers’ experience will be an asset to you.
Damages We Will Seek Compensation for After Your Boca Raton Construction Accident
We cannot be certain of the damages you’ve suffered, but we have some idea. Having represented many injured construction workers in Boca Raton, we know that construction accidents often cause:
