Workers injured on government-funded construction sites often encounter a confusing legal framework, distinct from private sector jobs. The principle of sovereign immunity protects government agencies from lawsuits, complicating the claims process. Injured workers likely need to navigate stringent deadlines and specific legal paths, sometimes targeting third-party contractors instead of the agency. Compliance with filing deadlines, typically shorter in public jobs, adds pressure. Legal representation knowledgeable in government contracts is crucial to ensure rights are protected and claims are valid.
Injured workers often discover that public projects come with a different set of rules, leading to confusion over claims and essential benefits.
Sovereign immunity limits the public's ability to sue, meaning injured parties might not file traditional claims against government agencies.
