In order to receive workers' compensation, an employee must inform his or her employer within 120 days of becoming sick or injured. The employer must then forward a claim to the insurer for approval of benefits. An employee who accepts workers' compensation benefits forfeits the right to sue an employer for negligence, and is not entitled to damages for pain and suffering.

Construction workers who are injured on the job will usually qualify for workers' compensation benefits, which can help pay for medical bills and wages lost through disability. This is true assuming the employer carries workers' compensation insurance and does not fight your claim. In any case, workers' compensation benefits for a long-term disability are often inadequate to support a family and deal with long-term, accident-related losses.

According to the United States Department of Labor, of the 937 construction workers were killed on the job, the highest since 2008.
