The steps you take following the accident can make a significant difference in the final compensation you recover. Here are some tips from the experienced construction accident lawyers at Rockland Injury Lawyers on what steps to take in the event of a construction accident:

  3. Seek Medical Attention • A construction accident can result in a serious injury. • Seek medical attention immediately following the accident. • This is important for your health and wellbeing, and doctor’s notes and medical records are very important in the claims process.

  4. Notify Your Supervisor Inform your supervisor about the accident and how it happened. Do this in writing within 30 days of the accident.

  5. Obtain Contact Information • If any co-workers or other individuals witnessed your accident, obtain their names, addresses and phone numbers. • Information from these witnesses can help your case in the future.

  6. File a Claim • File an employee claim form with the Workers’ Compensation board. • You must file it within two years of the time of your accident or injury.

  7. Retain Legal Representation • If you have suffered a serious injury, retain legal representation to manage all of the specifics of your claim. • A lawyer will prioritize your needs and fight on your behalf.

  8. File an Appeal (if necessary) • You may file an appeal if your Workers’ Compensation claim is denied. • You have 30 days to appeal your claim.
