What To Do After a Construction Accident
The law allows you to claim worker’s compensation benefits even if you were at fault in a construction accident. Fortunately, the civil justice system enables you to demand additional benefits if another person was at fault.
Severe injuries and wrongful death claims may make the at-fault insurance company pay you compensation.

Collect Evidence
For the best outcome of your case, you must gather sufficient evidence to support your claim. Several essential measures may help when proving your claim, including:
- Videos and pictures of the accident scene
- Contact details of eyewitnesses
- A copy of the OSHA investigation report
- A copy of the police report
Report the Accident
If you suffered in a physical attack or an arranged accident, you need to involve the police. Also, report the workplace accident to your employer or their representative. The 2019 Florida Statutes Title 45, Chapter 768 requires your employer to direct you to a preferred doctor or hospital as per the terms in the workers’ compensation policy.
Get Treatment
Medical treatment is the most critical step to take after an accident. Medical reports and receipts are vital proof of your injuries. You wouldn’t want your employer or insurance company to claim that your injuries are “cosmetic,” would you?
