- Injuries resulting from equipment or machinery malfunction.
Malfunctioning equipment is one of the major culprits when it comes to work-related injuries. It may result in severe injuries, including loss of body parts, and in some cases, death.
If you are a victim of a work-related injury due to malfunctioning machinery or equipment, it is important to get legal advice from an experienced worker’s compensation attorney urgently before moving forward.
Injuries resulting from work-related car accidents.
If a car accident occurs in the line of duty, worker’s compensation plans can give you a financial reprieve for your injuries, provided you have proof that the accident occurred while you were running work-related errands.
Our attorneys will help you gather the proof you need to file for your claim and get fair compensation.
Injuries resulting from slips and falls.
Your employer is responsible for maintaining the highest level of safety and proper housekeeping to ensure the safety of all workers.
If you happen to slip and fall at work due to poor lighting, clutter, unsafe stairways, unstable handrails, or other poor working conditions, you can hire a workers compensation attorney to file a claim for compensation for your injuries.
- Injuries resulting from repetitive strain.
If you suffer from injuries that result from recurrent strain to your muscles, nerves, or tendons, you have the right to seek compensation from your employer for working in awkward, unfavorable positions. Repetitive strain injuries may affect the way your hands, shoulders, forearms, and neck function.
While a lot of people ignore the effects of such injuries, they may affect you in the long run, which is why it is important to not underestimate their seriousness.
Get the workers compensation you deserve.
Both your employer and insurance company mainly focus on one thing when it comes to on-the-job injuries – giving injury victims as little as possible. Our highly experienced workers compensation lawyers pursue your claims to ensure that you get a fair settlement.
We also help you understand everything you need to know about worker’s compensation, including:
- Whether you are covered by workers compensation
We help you determine whether you are covered by worker’s compensation. While most employees have coverage, casual employees, farm laborers, interstate commerce operators, and employees from businesses with less than five people are not covered.
- When to notify your employer of your injuries
We emphasize the importance of notifying your employer or superior about your injury as soon as possible to avoid being denied benefits.
- Whether you qualify to receive worker’s compensation
We go through all the circumstances surrounding your work-related injury to determine whether you will get compensation. The injury should have occurred at work or while you were executing a work-related task for you to get compensation.
- When you can be denied benefits
If you do not follow the safety precautions and procedures at work, you may be denied workers compensation. Some of the reasons for denial include working while intoxicated, intentional injury, personal negligence, and violation of safety regulations.
- Whether you are eligible for reimbursement
If you sustain severe injuries that result in the loss of use of limbs, severance of body parts, or death, our attorneys will help you file for befitting reimbursement.
