Do I Need to Hire a Lawyer After a Construction Accident?
Whether you need to hire a lawyer can depend on various factors, such as:
- The severity of your injury
- The complexity of your case
- Whether you have high financial damages
- Whether an employer or their insurance company cooperate
In most cases, except for the most minor of injuries, having an experienced attorney by your side can be critical for getting what you deserve, whether with a workers’ comp claim or a personal injury lawsuit. Construction accident cases can be legally complex and involve several responsible parties. Standing up against an employer or corporation on your own can feel intimidating and overwhelming.
An attorney can protect your best interests and ensure you are not leaving any money on the table in negotiations. They can identify all liable parties and avenues for recovering compensation, which could benefit your final settlement. Our personal injury lawyers work for free and only get paid if and when you win. Therefore, you do not take any financial risks when hiring us to represent you.
What Are My Best Steps After Getting Injured in a Construction Accident in Owensboro?
You must report your accident and injury promptly to your supervisor or employer and fill in an accident report. Your employer should then start the workers’ comp claim process.
Your next best step is seeking medical help if you have not already visited a doctor or hospital. Ensure to follow your doctor’s advice and treatment plan, as not doing so could threaten your workers’ comp benefits and sink your personal injury claim.
If you sustained a significant injury and steep medical bills, consider contacting an attorney to determine your options. You may be entitled to damages in addition to workers’ comp benefits.
When Should I File a Construction Accident Lawsuit in Owensboro?
Timely action can be critical when you or a loved one gets injured in Kentucky. Unlike most other states, Kentucky has a relatively short statute of limitation. According to Kentucky Revised Statutes section 413.140(1)(a), you generally only have one year to file a personal injury lawsuit in the state.
Contacting our Owensboro, KY construction accident lawyers as soon as possible after your injury can protect your rights and help you recover the compensation you deserve. On the other hand, filing a lawsuit after the deadline has passed generally prohibits victims from seeking compensation.
