Our Experienced Workers’ Compensation Attorneys Can Help

It’s a sad reality that some employers knowingly or unknowingly subject their employees to unsafe working conditions. In addition, co-workers may be careless on the job and unintentionally cause injuries to other co-workers. Unfortunately, when this happens, workers can suffer in many ways. From life-altering injuries that demand ongoing medical treatment to substantial lost wages, workplace accidents can hurt employees physically, financially, and emotionally. It can turn things upside down for the injured worker’s family.

When Injury Strikes

Many injuries that happen at work are simple accidents. In these cases, you may be able to obtain workers compensation to alleviate some of the financial stress after you’ve been harmed. However, in limited circumstances, if you were injured because your employer knowingly exposed you to unsafe conditions or failed to take safety measures, you may be allowed to seek compensation by filing a lawsuit.

Moreover, if the negligence of a third party (a person or company other than your employer) caused your injury, you may be able to bring a lawsuit against that party—even if you’re also receiving workers’ compensation benefits from your employer.
