Construction Accidents in Arizona

A personal injury accident, in Arizona’s construction industry or anywhere else, is always a difficult time for the injured victim. In addition to pain and suffering, construction workers often are out of work, which can bring great emotional and financial stress to the entire family. Thankfully, injured workers do have rights in Arizona.

In general, an injured construction worker has two (2) types of remedies when injured at work. The remedies are not mutually exclusive, meaning that in some instances, an injured worker can pursue both means of recovery. First, if injured while in the scope of your job, the Arizona worker’s compensation laws will apply. This is meant to provide payment for all medical care determined to be reasonable, and related to the on the job injury. Worker’s com will also provide a portion (but not all) of your lost wages while you are out of work.

This is not allowed in all instances, and an experienced Arizona personal injury accident attorney can explain the system in greater detail and help you weigh your options.
