On-the-job injuries can be substantial, permanent and catastrophic. State workmen compensation laws limit recovery for an injured employee's claim for workplace injuries from the employer. As a result, an injured worker can only obtain full recovery for pain and suffering and lost wages if the worker has a “third-party” claim against a business, corporation or person other than the worker’s employer.
Your rights to workman's compensation depends on the state you live and work in -- each state is different. Our firm does not handle workman's compensation work, but we recover third party claims against any contractor or supplier whose equipment, personnel, or negligence contributed to your injury. If you have a question about an injury you incurred in the workplace,

The firm has been highly successful in a number of varied workplace injuries arising from unsafe working conditions.
Unsafe working conditions include: inadequate warnings and instructions; negligent job supervision; professional malpractice; use of defective products; machinery failures and defects; or lack of adequate safety protection equipment. The firm's experience has spanned a variety of factual contexts, such as product liability and negligence claims arising from an exploding tank of sulfuric acid; an accidental fall from electrocution while performing construction work above street level; and OSHA violations and falls while fulfilling contractual responsibilities
The firm obtained a settlement providing a lifetime annuity and financial security for a Philadelphia electrician who was seriously injured and permanently disabled when he fell through a suspended ceiling and broke his back, wrist and ankle.
The firm litigated a claim for a young Pennsylvania woman who was crushed when a bag/sack weighing 2000 pounds fell on her at work rendering her a wheelchair dependent paraplegic. The firm sued the companies and corporations involved in designing, manufacturing and distributing this product without proper concern for the safety of the user.
Each injury case is given individual attention and approached with a perspective that focuses on obtaining long-term financial and retirement security for the injured worker. For example, a painter who was electrocuted while working on a SEPTA project received a $1.2 million settlement providing financial security for life through a life-long annuity.
