WORKERS COMPENSATION

If you have suffered a construction injury while working,  you have suffered a workers compensation injury. The insurance company is obligated to provide you with treatment and other benefits when you have a work related injury. Unfortunately, the insurance companies are not necessarily generous participants.

Sadly, the  insurance companies must often be forced to provide the benefits the law requires.

Sometimes, traumatic brain injuries involve a third party civil liability case which can add to the recovery from the workers compensation case.  When another person's or company's negligence caused your traumatic brain injury you may have a civil case against that perpetrator.
