Although many injured construction workers will be entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits, these benefits will not cover all of the expenses faced by an injured worker and generally do not cover pain and suffering and the full range of damages available to the loved ones of a worker who is killed in an accident. Moreover, there are often claims to be made outside of Workers’ Compensation against negligent third parties and contractors.
