Construction workers play a vital role in the infrastructure of Asheville, North Carolina. Unfortunately, they are often injured in on-the-job accidents. Studies and surveys routinely indicate that construction is among the most dangerous professions in the United States.
Construction accidents in Asheville, NC may occur for a variety of reasons. Regardless, a worker who has been injured at a construction site does not need to prove that their accident was the result of someone else’s negligence in order to recover compensation for their medical bills and other such losses associated with their accident. North Carolina’s workers’ compensation laws allow injured workers to pursue compensation regardless of whether negligence was a factor in them being injured.
This does not mean that recovering the compensation for which you may be eligible after being injured at a construction site is necessarily easy. Insurance companies often look for reasons to deny workers’ compensation claims. Even if an insurance company doesn’t deny your claim entirely, they may offer less compensation than you deserve based on the full extent of your losses and injuries.
Optimize your chances of recovering what you are owed by enlisting the help of an Asheville, NC construction accident attorney at Brown Moore & Associates, PLLC. Along with handling all correspondence with the insurance company on your behalf, we will also determine if it’s possible for you to recover additional compensation beyond what worker’s comp will provide by filing a separate personal injury claim against a careless third-party who allowed your accident to occur.
