Construction Worker Injuries
Injured Construction Workers Count On Minnesota Workers’ Compensation
Construction workers face some of the highest rates of injuries of any profession. The hazards are numerous: heavy equipment, ladders, scaffolding, trenches, live wiring, chemicals, toxins, flammable substances (to name just a few).
After a construction accident or injury, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation. Turn to our legal team at Milavetz Injury Law, P.A., for the legal help you deserve. We can assist you with not only your workers’ comp claim, but also any personal injury claims you might have against other parties (contractors, site owners, machinery manufacturers, etc.) who contributed to the accident.

Occupational Illnesses
You also may be eligible for worker’s compensation if you become ill as a result of your work on the construction site. Construction workers are prone to respiratory illnesses, cancers and other chronic conditions that result from prolonged exposure to chemicals that may be found on the site. Even seemingly harmless substances — like silica dust — can cause long-term health effects.
What Should I Do In The Event Of A Work-Related Injury?
After an accident or injury, seek medical care as quickly as possible. You should also report the accident to your employer. You can’t get in trouble for doing so, and this documentation will be necessary for the worker’s compensation claim.
