If you have been involved in a construction accident on a Columbus construction site, our experienced Columbus construction accident attorneys may be able to seek workers’ compensation benefits from an employer, which may include income replacement, medical care and permanent disability benefits. We may also be able to identify responsible third parties that may have contributed to a Columbus construction accident. While an employee is typically limited to workers’ compensation benefits against an employer, third parties may be liable for broader damages in a personal injury case. Our Columbus construction accident attorneys often are able to supplement workers’ compensation benefits with an additional personal injury claim, collecting damages for pain and suffering, impaired quality of life experience, diminished marital relationship and services as well as other damages.
