The timeline for construction accident cases depends on how serious the injuries are and how complicated the investigation is. Workers’ compensation claims may move faster when medical treatment and disability ratings become clear. Personal injury claims involving third-parties often take longer because they require deeper investigation, expert testimony, and negotiation with multiple insurance companies. Serious construction accident injuries sometimes require months or years of medical care before the full extent of damages can be evaluated. An attorney can help monitor deadlines and move the claim forward while the injured worker focuses on recovery.
