Construction Accidents can cause serious injury. Many workers are aware that they can receive Workers Compensation Benefits as a result of their accident but many workers are unaware that they could receive additional benefits from another company who was negligent in their duties to supervise the worksite.
It is important to contact a competent attorney who has experience in handling construction site accidents who can determine whether there is a viable claim against another party that is not your employer. These cases are called Third Party Cases. In a New Jersey Workers Compensation case, you cannot collect for pain and suffering. In a Third-Party Case, you can receive compensation for pain and suffering. In serious construction accidents, the pain and suffering component is every important because the Workers Compensation award only pays for the permanent injury and does not provide compensation for pain and suffering.
