Workers’ Compensation Benefits for Injured Construction Workers and Families
In most cases, injured construction workers can get benefits covering medical care and two-thirds of their average weekly salary for a workplace injury. How long you receive benefits depends on how severe your injury is, how long it will prevent you from returning to work, and the type of work you will be able to perform when you do return.
Accordingly, the NCIC defines the following injury ratings:
- Temporary total disability—you cannot work at all for a defined time
- Temporary partial disability—you can do some work while you recover
- Permanent disability—your disabling condition is expected to limit your ability to work permanently
Our workers’ compensation lawyers will ensure you receive an accurate disability rating. We will also work hard to ensure you receive benefits in the appropriate amount and for the appropriate length of time.
