On The Job Injuries
Workers’ Compensation
The costs of a work-related injury can be significant. Thankfully, workers’ compensation provides injured workers like you with money to cover a variety of accident-related expenses, including:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages for a temporary injury that:
- temporarily leaves you unable to work
- forces you to cut your hours or take a lower-paying job
- Lost wages for a permanent injury that:
- prevents you from doing your former job, but doesn’t prevent you from working
- is catastrophic and prevents you from ever returning to work
Our legal team works to determine your current and future medical expenses, as well as the severity of your work-related injury and disability, to help you get maximum compensation.
Construction Injuries
Construction sites can be dangerous for workers. Even if you know and understand the risks of your job, you may still be injured due to your employer or other workers violating safety protocols that put your health—and even your life—in danger.
Because of the inherent risks at construction sites, it’s important for foremen, supervisors, and individual workers to follow strict guidelines for everything from operating vehicles and heavy machinery, to issuing approved safety equipment and responding to accidents and injuries.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and some construction companies fail to train their workers or give them the resources they need to prevent serious accidents.
