Each state in the Gulf Coast area requires large employers to provide workers compensation insurance. However, this type of work injury coverage is often not enough to cover your expenses when you are injured on a construction job, because:

• Construction injuries are usually serious. The majority of construction injuries result in permanent partial disability. But workers compensation providers fight hard to deny your benefits, claiming that your injuries are less serious or that you can accept work that you are not qualified to perform.
• Wage replacement benefits are low. When you are unable to work due to your injuries, workers compensation only pays two-thirds of your typical weekly wage. If you are permanently disabled and settle your claim for a lump-sum payment, you cannot reopen your claim when you find that the settlement was too low.
• Additional damages are rarely available. Under workers compensation law, punitive damages are not allowed unless your employer has intentionally harmed you.

Our Fairhope lawyers are skilled at finding alternatives to workers compensation when you have been seriously injured while doing construction work.
