What to Do If You’ve Suffered a Workplace Accident
Injuries can occur at work due to a one-time event or as a result of repetitive actions or exposure. Regardless of the scenario, a work accident lawyer can help you receive the compensation you deserve when you have been injured on the job.
Injuries that occur in the workplace are covered under federal Workers’ Compensation law. Although this is “no fault” insurance, employers and insurance companies can make it hard for you to receive the compensation you deserve by claiming that your injury was not sustained in the workplace or that your injury is less severe than you claim. A personal injury lawyer with experience in handling workplace injury claims can help you through the process to receive Workers’ Compensation. We can also advise you when you may be eligible for additional compensation due to negligence, neglect or fault on the part of your employer or a third party.
When you have been hurt or injured on the job, you may have more than just medical expenses to contend with. You may have lost wages or be unable to return to work, require future medical care or rehabilitation, and have likely suffered other damages such as pain and suffering. Some accidents result in long-term or permanent disability and can even lead to death.
The Eltringham Law Group has experience handling workplace accident injury cases in Broward, Martin, Hendry, Glades, St. Lucie, Okeechobee, Indian River and Palm Beach Counties including Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, and West Palm Beach.
