Under the Georgia workers' comp system, an injured worker is entitled to recover lost wages and medical expenses for injuries suffered on the job without the need to prove that the employer or anybody else was at fault. While this rule applies to construction workers just as it does to anyone else, the nature of construction work means that you may have a chance to establish the liability of someone other than your employer or a fellow employee.
In other words, construction accident cases sometimes offer the possibility of pursuing your personal injury rights against a different subcontractor, a property owner, a supplier, a delivery driver, an equipment manufacturer or some other defendant while your workers' compensation claim is proceeding against your employer or its workers' comp insurance carrier. The possible range of damages allowed in a personal injury lawsuit is much wider than it is in workers' compensation, which does not include payment for pain and suffering.
Why hire Scott?
Atlanta workers' comp lawyer Scott Delius can advise you about the possibility of a personal injury lawsuit against a non-employer defendant for construction accident injuries while he helps you with your workers' comp claim. Our firm's goal is to help you recover the greatest amount possible for your injuries from all available sources, while making sure that you are receiving all the medical treatment and rehabilitative support you need for a full physical recovery.
Our experience can help you in catastrophic injury claims involving paralysis or amputation, severe fracture or broken bone cases, or less serious injuries such as joint trauma to the knee or shoulder.
