Workers compensation law covers all injuries and diseases no matter how they occur. However, workers’ compensation is limited to payment of lost wages and medical bills. There are no pain and suffering awards. However, there are times where the injury on a construction site could have been caused by the negligence of another contractor or employee of another contractor on the job. In those cases, a third-party claim can be made against the negligent party allowing for a pain and suffering award. A Toledo construction accident attorney could help someone determine what benefits they could be eligible for.
