Injuries on the Job

Being hurt while on the job often leads to claims under workers compensation laws.  However, workers compensation is often times inadequate for the injuries suffered.  If an injury was caused by a third-party or a piece of work equipment, you may be able to recover additional money above and beyond what you are entitled to under workers compensation.

 Even with the regulations mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), injuries on the job happen every day and vary greatly depending on the job and circumstances.  Common work related accidents that may be caused by third parties for which you are able to recover include:

• Collapsing structures or scaffoldings;
• Explosions;
• Fires;
• Over the road truck related accidents; and
• Defective equipment such as ladders.

Manufacturers, delivery companies or even subcontractors are often time at fault for causing injuries.  Our lawyers are familiar with the complexities of on the job injuries and will help you recover the compensation you need and deserve.
