FAQs
Can I sue someone other than my employer after a construction site accident?
Yes. If a third party—such as a subcontractor, property owner, or manufacturer—was negligent, you may have a viable third-party claim in addition to your workers’ compensation claim.
What is the statute of limitations for construction injury cases in Washington?
In Washington State, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Workers’ compensation claims must be filed within one year.
What compensation can I receive after a construction accident?
You may be eligible for coverage of medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future earning potential, pain and suffering, and more. In wrongful death cases, surviving loved ones may also receive compensation.
