Compensation We Seek for Construction Accident Victims and Surviving Families
If you qualify to file a personal injury claim or lawsuit, recovering fair compensation after a construction accident includes the following economic and non-economic damages:
- Economic damages – Past and future medical bills, lost wages, lost earning potential, and property damage, loss, or diminished value
- Non-economic damages – Disabling and disfiguring injuries, pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, and diminished quality of life
- Wrongful death damages (if applicable)—Funeral and burial expenses, loss of income and household support, and loss of consortium, care, and companionship
Your Valley Falls construction site accident lawyer will assess your recoverable damages, collect proof of their value, and include the resulting receipts, bills, etc., in your case file.
How Our Valley Falls Construction Accident Lawyers Build Compelling Claims
Our law firm will aim to prove the elements of negligence—duty, breach, causation, and damages—to establish the at-fault party’s liability. The evidence we collect to prove these elements can include police reports, medical records and bills, and lay and expert witness testimony.
In South Carolina, you generally have three years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, according to S.C. Ann § 15-3-530. Filing your lawsuit on time is mandatory, but the filing deadline can change, making it hard to meet. When we handle it for you, we will file your lawsuit on time and in the appropriate Valley Falls court.
Building a case takes time, so please contact our consultation team at Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, today for your free initial consultation.
We Fight Hard to Obtain Benefits for Injured Construction Workers in Valley Falls
If you are a construction worker, you generally cannot sue for your injuries unless a third party caused them. Instead, you can file for workers’ compensation insurance benefits.
Our law firm works hard to help injured construction employees get the medical and financial benefits of workers’ comp. According to South Carolina’s Workers’ Compensation Commission, you could receive:
Medical Benefits
Throughout your recovery, and at no cost to you, you can receive all the medical care your injuries require, including:
- Emergency care
- Hospital admission
- Rehab and therapy
- Surgical procedures
- Medical devices
Workers’ comp’s medical benefits start immediately with required emergency medical care. All other treatment must be provided by an employer-approved physician to remain cost-free.
Financial Benefits
You can receive up to two-thirds of your average weekly wages for the time you cannot work. How long you receive compensation will depend on your disability rating, which may include:
- Temporary Partial Disability
- Temporary Total Disability
- Permanent Disability
Our Valley Falls workers’ compensation lawyers will work hard to ensure you get all the benefits you deserve by accurately documenting your average wages and fighting for a lump sum settlement whenever possible.
If a third party (contractor, vendor, supplier, etc.) caused your injury, we can help you build a separate personal injury claim for additional compensation.
We Will File Your Workers’ Compensation Claim Within the Allotted Time
You have up to 90 days to report your workplace injury to your employer and two years to file your workers’ comp claim. If you file too late, you might be unable to file. Let our lawyers handle it for you. We will protect your right to benefits by filing your claim on time.
