Construction Accidents And Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Construction accidents can lead to severe injuries, leaving workers unable to perform their duties and facing mounting medical expenses. Workers’ compensation benefits provide essential financial support, covering medical bills, lost wages and even rehabilitation costs.
These benefits are designed to help injured workers recover and return to work without the added stress of massive financial burdens. Whether you have suffered construction site injuries or other workplace accidents, our lawyers stand ready to help you navigate the complexities you may face, helping secure your deserved benefits.
Filing A Construction-Related Workers’ Compensation Claim
To file a workers’ compensation claim in New Mexico, you must notify your employer of the injury as soon as possible. From there, take these steps:
- Seek medical attention to support your claim
- Complete the necessary paperwork
- Speak with a New Mexico workers’ compensation lawyer
Unfortunately, workers’ comp claims for construction accidents can be challenging to get approved, depending on the circumstances. Factors like incident report clarity, evidence availability and the employer’s stance on the claim can influence the approval process. In addition, construction site injuries can be particularly severe, which makes an attorney’s guidance invaluable.
Take These Steps If Your Employer Contests Your Claim
If your employer disputes your injuries or your claim, it can be a frustrating and stressful experience. A contested workers’ compensation claim may require additional evidence and legal representation to prove your case.
Gather as much additional evidence as possible to support your claim, such as detailed medical records and witness statements, and bring your story to our firm. Our attorneys have the experience to advocate for your rights if you have a denied workers’ compensation claim.
