Our Construction Injury Lawyers Fight for Workers Like You

At Rosenberg & Rosenberg, we are committed to protecting the rights of injured construction employees. If you were injured in the course of your construction job, we can guide you through the application process, including:

• Reporting the injury to your employer on time
• Proving your accident and injury were work-related
• Defining your rights and your employer’s responsibility
• Interviewing coworkers, eyewitnesses, and experts
• Representing you at workers’ comp hearings and appeals

Our legal team also handles paperwork and disability ratings, and fights for all the medical and financial benefits you are entitled to recover.

Your Workers’ Compensation Disability Rating Affects Your Financial Benefits

In general, you can receive up to 66 2/3 percent of your average weekly wages during the time your injuries prevent you from working (or from working at your usual capacity). Your assigned disability rating will define how long you receive monthly benefits.

According to Florida’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), you could receive:

• Temporary Total Disability (TTD) for up to 104 weeks
• Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) for up to 104 weeks
• Permanent Total Disability (PTD) for your lifetime

We know the importance of an accurate disability rating, so we work hard for yours. In addition, we pursue a lump sum settlement if one is available, per Florida Statutes § 440.20.  We can also help you pursue death benefits if your family lost a loved one in a construction accident.

Get Medical Care for Your Construction Accident Injury

Unlike financial benefits, which only begin after you miss seven days of work, workers’ comp’s medical benefits start immediately. All authorized medical care is covered, including:

• Emergency room fees
• Doctor’s appointments
• Hospital admissions
• Rehab and therapy
• Diagnostic exams
• Prescribed medication
• Medical devices
• In-home medical aid

We help you carefully document your treatment protocol and compile medical evidence for your workers’ comp application.

Our Construction Accident Attorneys in North Lauderdale Also Manage Third-Party Claims

You can file a third-party (or personal injury) lawsuit if you were a layperson injured in a construction accident. Construction workers can also seek third-party compensation if their injury was negligence-based. At-fault parties could include:

• Vendors
• Suppliers
• Contractors
• Sub-contractors

The Role of Negligence in North Lauderdale Personal Injury Claims

Personal injury claims are built on the legal elements of negligence. To recover damages for you, our lawyers in North Lauderdale build a case file that proves:

• The at-fault party owed you a duty of care
• Their actions breached their legal obligation
• Their actions directly caused your accident
• Your accident had financial and physical consequences

The case file our work accident attorney can build for you will include proof of the accident’s cause (e.g., official reports, medical records, and witness statements).

Financial Compensation for Construction Accident Victims

When we represent you, we fight for the following economic and non-economic recoverable damages:

• Past and future medical bills
• Past and future lost wages
• Loss of future earning ability
• Property damage or total loss
• Diminished property value
• Disability and disfigurement
• Physical pain and suffering
• Mental and emotional trauma
• Wrongful death damages, if applicable

You also have to meet the applicable statute of limitations. Rosenberg & Rosenberg works hard to file your lawsuit within the allotted time, which is generally two years, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11.
