Construction Accident Lost Wage Reimbursement

Question: Will I be reimbursed for my lost wages after a construction accident?

Answer:

If you’ve been injured in a construction site here in Texas, one of the biggest worries you probably have is how you are going to pay your bills and provide for your family. If you can’t work, you can’t get paid. The first thing you need to know is if there’s Workers’ Compensation insurance available. One of the things that Workers’ Comp provides for you is reimbursement of your lost wages. It’s not full, but it’s something so that you can at least pay your bills and take care of things while your claim is being handled. If your employer doesn’t have Worker’s Comp insurance, then you’re entitled through the general system, the way everybody else would, to full compensation for every penny you’re missing.
