Time is of the Essence in Arizona Workers' Compensation Cases
Phoenix construction accident lawyers understand the importance of timeliness when it comes to filing your Arizona workers’ compensation claim. Arizona construction site accidents can result in devastating personal injuries, sometimes even catastrophic ones that could leave a worker permanently disabled or unable to work for a long period of time. In such cases, the worker and their family not only undergo tremendous emotional strain, but also severe financial strain. There are medical bills to be paid. The worker loses out on wages. There are other household expenses and bills that must be paid. The situation gets worse if the injured worker is the family's sole breadwinner.
This is exactly why it is critical to act promptly if you or a loved one has been injured in an Arizona construction accident. A recent news article in The Arizona Daily Sun talks about a Phoenix worker who was denied her right to appeal her workers’ compensation claim because she waited too long. According to the report, she had a 90-day period to file an appeal and request a recalculation of the compensation she would receive. Unaware of the many laws and statutes that regulate workers’ compensation, the woman was unable to present her side in court.
Acting quickly may make the difference between receiving compensation and being denied benefits on your injury claim. Under Arizona law, there is a one-year statute of limitations on all workers’ compensation claims. This means that after a year has passed from the day of the incident, the victim may no longer pursue compensation for their losses. If you have been injured in an Arizona construction accident, please contact an experienced personal injury lawyer. They will act promptly on your behalf and ensure that your legal rights and best interests are protected.
