Construction Accident Claim Calculator
Workers comp plus the third-party claim that comp does not cover.
How this number is built
Doing it by hand
Step 1
File the workers compensation claim immediately — it is not affected by fault.
Step 2
Photograph the site, equipment, guarding and signage before anything is cleared.
Step 3
Identify every entity present: general contractor, subcontractors, equipment owner, property owner.
Step 4
Preserve the equipment itself, since a defect claim dies when the machine is repaired.
Step 5
Expect the comp carrier to assert a lien on any third-party recovery, and negotiate it.
What people ask next
Can I sue my employer?
Usually not — comp is the exclusive remedy. A third party who contributed to the accident can be sued separately.
What is a comp lien?
The comp carrier's right to be repaid from your third-party settlement for the benefits it already paid. It is frequently reducible.
