How Does an Injured Construction Worker in Yorktown Seek Compensation?

There are two general options for seeking compensation as an injured construction worker:

• A workers’ compensation claim: If your injuries came in the normal course of your job, a workers’ compensation claim may be appropriate. Employers in Yorktown are typically protected from civil lawsuits when they purchase workers’ compensation insurance.
• A lawsuit: If negligence by a third party caused your construction accident, you might be able to sue that liable third party. Defective construction equipment is one case where a lawsuit may be appropriate and necessary.
