WORK SITE / ON THE JOB INJURIES

Injuries on the job can be substantial, permanent and catastrophic. State workmen compensation laws limit recovery for an injured employee's claim for work site 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 your case, contact us.

The firm has been highly successful in a number of varied job site injuries in developing “third-party” claims arising from unsafe working conditions, inadequate warnings and instructions, negligent job supervision, professional malpractice, or use of defective products. The firm's experience has spanned a variety of factual contexts involving unsafe work premises, 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.

	We obtained a settlement providing a lifetime annuity and financial security for an electrician who was seriously injured and permanently disabled when he fell through a suspended ceiling and broke his back, wrist and ankle. We filed claims of product liability against the manufacturer of the ceiling and negligence against the owner of the facility for failing to provide a safe work place. We are litigating a claim for a young woman who was crushed when a bag/sack weighing 2000 pounds fell on her at work rendering her a wheelchair dependent paraplegic. Suit is currently pending against the companies and corporations involved in designing, manufacturing and distributing this product without proper concern for the safety of the user.

Each 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. Our offices have successfully resolved a number of cases through substantial verdicts/settlements on behalf of permanently injured victims of catastrophic job site injuries.
