Compensable Damages After a New York Construction Accident

“Damages” refer to everything you lose or spend as a result of your accident. We will fight to recover your financial security and other damages as part of your claim or lawsuit. The damages you are eligible to claim depend on the type of case we file on your behalf.

Benefits Available Through Workers’ Compensation

As a construction worker, your first avenue for financial and medical benefits is usually worker’s compensation. If you are employed through a company and are not an independent contractor, you have these benefits available to you. Per the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board, your benefits allow you to claim:

• Up to two-thirds of your customary wages
• The cost of your medical treatment (through an approved doctor)
• Treatment-related travel expenses
• Survivor benefits on behalf of a lost loved one

If you accept these benefits, you won’t be able to claim your pain and suffering as damages or sue your employer. However, you could be eligible to sue a third party.

Damages in a Personal Injury Claim or Lawsuit

Injured workers whose injuries are the result of a third party’s negligence and pedestrians who were injured on a construction site have the ability to file a claim or lawsuit. Your losses could warrant the following types of damages:

• The cost of your past and future medical treatment
• Your past and future lost wages, including benefits, tips, and other non-conventional forms of income
• Physical suffering, including loss of mobility and independence
• Emotional and mental anguish
