Ohio Construction Site Accident Attorneys

Columbus Job Site Injury Lawyers 

According to OSHA statistics, construction workers in Ohio face a 10 percent chance of losing work to injury in any given year. Under Ohio law, contractors are required to participate in the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) state-run workers' comp plan, covering their employees in the event of a construction site injury. Most builders and contractors are compliant. Some are not.

If you were injured in a construction site accident, you are entitled to seek medical coverage and benefits for lost earnings through the BWC system. You will be required to seek medical treatment from a doctor certified by the BWC for direct payments. If your employer is found to be in violation of specific safety requirements (VSSR), you may seek additional punitive damages.

You May Be Entitled to Additional Money Damages
If you file a successful claim with the BWC, you usually forfeit your right to sue your employer for additional damages, no matter how serious your injuries are. In many construction site accidents there is a third party, such as a subcontractor or vendor, who may be held liable for compensating you for your injuries. You may be entitled to file a lawsuit against the negligent party to recover additional money damages. These third party lawsuits are often filed against a subcontractor on site, an equipment manufacturer or the construction site property owner.
