Construction companies and contractors by law must carry workers’ compensation insurance, no matter how big or small the company. Workers’ compensation covers medical care and lost wages, but the payments are limited and do not assign fault. We seek damages way beyond those covered by Worker’s Compensation, as the law allows, ensuring that your current and future needs are fully met. The employer owes a safe work environment for its workers, and is obligate to take reasonable measures to ensure safety.

Construction Accidents & The Resulting Accident Claims Can Be Extremely Complex

Construction accidents can be rather complex because you are many times dealing with an employer. If you or a loved one have been seriously hurt in a worksite accident, contact the Kansas City construction accident attorneys from the Krause & Kinsman Law Firm to help you assess you claim.
