If you’ve been injured in a backhoe accident at work and your employer has workers’ compensation insurance, you may be eligible for the following benefits:
- Income benefits
- Medical benefits
- Burial and death benefits
You should still speak with an attorney to determine whether someone other than your employer – a third party – has responsibility for the incident and the injuries. And if that is the case, then additional compensation and damages can be sought above and beyond the limited benefits available in a worker’s compensation claim.
