What Injured Workers Need to Know

  • Can I sue if I was hurt on a jobsite?

    Yes. If the injury resulted from neglect, abuse, or unsafe conditions, you may have a valid legal claim—even if the harm wasn’t intentional.


  • What if I’m paid in cash or off the books?

    Even undocumented or off-the-books workers may have rights. Talk to us before assuming you’re out of luck.

  • What benefits can I receive through workers’ comp?

    You may be entitled to medical coverage, wage replacement (TTD), permanent disability & job retraining. We can also pursue third-party claims if they apply.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    For workers’ comp, notify your employer within 45 days, and file your claim as soon as possible. Personal injury claims generally must be filed within 2 years.

  • Do I need a lawyer for a construction injury?

    Absolutely. These are some of the most complicated work injury cases. Insurance companies often fight hard to avoid paying the full amount. We won’t let them.
