This is often times where the victim’s company benefits come in.  Established to give aid and assistance to individuals who are seriously hurt due to a workplace mishap, workman’s compensation can be an invaluable financial resource.

Of course,  not every case is dire as some employees only suffer a somewhat minor to moderate injury while on the job, but what happens when a construction site accident leads to lasting, permanent disability?

Types of Construction Site Accidents

To be sure, there are some construction site accidents that, while unfortunate, may not translate into long term issues.  For instance, a slip-and-fall may culminate in a broken wrist or leg, but bones heal and you could end up good as new in less than a years time.

There are some work site accidents however, where a person can end up grievously damaged for years or even for life.  The injuries that can create this type of lasting harm include but are not limited to:

• Limb amputation
• Paralysis
• Burn injury
• Head injury
• Spinal injury and
• complications from slip-and fall

In cases like these company provided workman’s compensation may not be enough.

Company Based Workman’s Comp Lacking

There are certain things workman compensation will cover and others that it won’t.  Unfortunately, many needful treatments may not be  eligible under your companies plan.  In some surprising instances, you may even find the company refusing to pay for the costs associated with your work site provoked disability.

Why they Won’t Pay

Insurance adjusters are practically trained to treat all potential claims with a high rate of skpeticism.  Because of this, they may fail to assist workers who are legitimately injured.  Sadly, there are even instances where they fail to pay a claim not because they feel there is no justification for it, but because they have found a legal loophole that allows them to get out of their obligation.
