Do I Need to Contact an Attorney after an Arizona Construction Accident?
If you have been injured in an Arizona construction accident, you are probably facing a number of unexpected expenses. Time away from work and hospital bills can add up fast and you may begin to worry about how to pay your bills. You should know your legal rights and what compensation may be available to you for your losses.
First, you should know that it is common for many workers’ compensation applications to be denied. Having an experienced Arizona construction accident attorney on your side while you file for workers’ compensation will greatly increase your chances of succeeding with your application and help you receive the benefits you rightfully deserve. If your application has already been denied, a skilled attorney will help you appeal the decision.
Once you are done handling your workers’ compensation claim, you may find that your losses are still not adequately covered by the benefits you are receiving. An Arizona construction accident attorney can help file third-party claims, where applicable, to get you additional coverage for your losses. For example, if you are injured by a piece of equipment while on a job site due to product defect or malfunction, you may be able to file a third-party claim against the manufacturer of the defective product or the company that maintained or repaired the equipment.
The experienced Phoenix construction accident lawyers at the Breyer Law Offices P.C. will examine different facets of the case in order to determine fault and liability. Arizona workers’ compensation benefits are hardly sufficient in cases where a worker has suffered a major injury or is unable to return to work.
