Compensation For Injured North Carolina Construction Workers

Pursuing Compensation From All Available Sources

If your employer or a co-worker caused your construction accident, your compensation will most likely be limited to what is available under North Carolina’s workers’ compensation laws. In certain circumstances, however, an employer or certain third parties can be liable beyond workers’ compensation, for example, when an injury is caused by a trench cave-in. The law mandates that construction companies and contractors carry workers’ compensation insurance, whatever the size of the company. When you visit us, we will explain the details to you so that you understand what compensation may be available.

If someone other than an employer or co-worker caused your accident, then it may be possible for you to recover additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. This is known as “third-party liability.” An example of a third-party liability claim would be a claim against the manufacturer of defective scaffolding that collapsed and injured a worker. Another would be the ability to hold a contractor (not your own) liable when you get hurt by a wall that caves in after his/her workers built it.
