What Types of Damages Can You Claim in an Arizona Construction Accident?
Experienced Arizona construction accident lawyers will be able to evaluate your case in an honest, straightforward and realistic manner and help determine what types of damages you are entitled to in your particular case. However, in a construction accident, it is the insurance carrier who will first attempt to determine who was liable. If they determine that the worker was fully or partially responsible for the accident, they will try to reduce the value of the claim. Remember that insurance companies will certainly try to find any piece of evidence or an eyewitness who can help them establish that the accident was the worker's fault.
Other significant considerations in a construction accident claim include the seriousness of the injuries, the length of time taken to recover, the cost of medical and rehabilitative care, the possibility of long-term or permanent disability, loss of wages and future loss of earnings.
The construction company or the employer's role in the accident will and should be considered. Could the employer have better trained the worker for the job? Could the employer have prevented the injury by having safety devices in place? Did the employer allow a dangerous condition to exist at the work site? Did the employer maintain a safe working environment? These are all important questions to ask in a construction accident case. The damages an injured worker can claim include costs of medical care – both current and future, pain and suffering, wage loss, and lost earning capacity.
In most construction accident cases, the nature of the injuries, the impact of those injuries (both short-term and long-term) and the damages to seek may not be clear right away.
