I have also secured large settlements to help clients recover and bounce back in life. My experience as a workplace injury lawyer has taught me the importance of taking immediate action to protect your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Common Workplace Injuries

Workplace accidents can result in a range of injuries. These injuries can have a significant impact on your daily life, making it essential to seek medical attention promptly. Examples of common workplace injuries include:

  • Repetitive stress injuries
  • Overuse injuries
  • Exposure to toxic chemicals
  • Slips and falls
  • Equipment injuries from forklifts, machinery and ladders

The consequences of a workplace accident can be far-reaching, affecting your ability to earn a living and enjoy life. The accident can impact not just your physical health but also your emotional well-being and financial stability, making it crucial for you not to sit around and let the situation worsen.

Your Workplace Accidents Questions Answered

Workplace accidents can be complex, and prompt and informed action can make a difference in the outcome of your case. Below, I answer some questions to clarify common concerns about workplace accidents.

What if my injury was caused by a third party while at work?

If a third party caused your workplace injury, you may have a claim against that party in addition to your workers’ compensation claim.

What is the difference between workers’ comp and a personal injury claim?

Workers’ compensation is a system that provides benefits to employees who are injured on the job, as long as the injury is work related. In receipt of these benefits, employees typically waive their right to sue their employer for damages. However, if a third party, such as a contractor or vendor, is responsible for the injury, you may be able to bring a personal injury claim against them to seek additional compensation.

When should I contact a personal injury lawyer if I suffered an injury while on the job?

You should contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after being injured on the job to ensure you receive the guidance and support you need to seek the fair compensation you deserve.
