Scaffolding Accident Lawyer Frederick, MD

Can I file both workers' compensation and personal injury claims?

Yes, in some situations, you can file both a workers' compensation and a personal injury claim after a scaffolding incident. If you were hurt while working on a construction site, you are usually eligible for workers' compensation payments, which can cover medical bills, missed earnings, and rehabilitation costs, regardless of responsibility. Workers' compensation, on the other hand, rarely compensates for pain and suffering or long-term harm.

In addition to workers' compensation, you may be able to file a personal injury claim if another party's carelessness contributed to the accident. This could apply to negligent contractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners. A personal injury claim can help you recover additional damages like as pain and suffering, mental distress, and other non-economic losses that workers' compensation does not pay for.

Blank Kim Injury Law's skilled attorneys can assist you assess whether you have a valid personal injury claim in addition to workers' compensation. We will thoroughly review the circumstances of your case to ensure that you receive the greatest compensation for your injuries.

Can I still make a claim if the scaffolding accident was largely my fault? 
 
Due to Maryland's severe contributory negligence law, filing a claim for a scaffolding accident in which you are somewhat at fault might be difficult. According to this rule, if you are determined to be even 1% at fault, you may be precluded from seeking compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. This makes it necessary to consult with expert legal counsel to properly understand how blame is assessed and whether other parties are liable. 
 
Blank Kim Injury Law conducts extensive investigations into scaffolding incidents to identify all possibly culpable parties, including contractors, site managers, scaffold manufacturers, and property owners. If we can demonstrate that another party was totally to blame, you may still have a good case. Even if you believe you are somewhat to blame, you should not presume you are ineligible for compensation without first seeing a lawyer.
