When handling construction accident cases, our injury attorneys look to the following commonplace parties that could be considered at-fault. The very first thing to understand after you have been injured in your accident is that your immediate employer is immune to liability for your workplace injury damages. As long as they have a workers’ compensation policy in place, it can be challenging or impossible to file a lawsuit against them. The exception is in circumstances where they directly disobey one or more labor laws. Workers’ comp pays for all workplace injuries that occur “within the scope of employment”, regardless of fault or causation. The only exception to coverage is if the employee was somehow found grossly negligent, but this is an unusual occurrence.
