Construction injuries are common products of building and renovation projects. If you were hurt at or near a site, you might wonder how the claims process is likely to work. Here are four things potential plaintiffs should know about how their cases will probably look. Eliminating Other Possible Types of Claims Foremost, a construction injury attorney will want to determine that the case isn't some other type. An employee of the at-fault entity, for example, would probably end up with a workers' compensation claim.

If you have a preexisting condition, it doesn't block you from claiming workers' compensation. However, there are some additional steps you may need to take to make your claim. What Is a Preexisting Condition? A preexisting condition generally is some sort of injury or disability that you got in the past. For example, you may have back problems from falling off a ladder while working on your home years ago. As such, that back injury existed before you filed for workers' compensation.
