Legal Help For Many Kinds Of Workplace Injuries
Our experienced personal injury and workers’ compensation lawyers are familiar with many types of workplace injuries, including:

- Car and truck accidents involving people driving for work

Workers’ Compensation And Personal Injury Law
Of course, workers’ compensation is still the most basic form of recovery for workplace accidents. The workers’ compensation system provides a designated level of financial recovery for an injury that an employee suffered at work. In return, the employee gives up the right to bring a personal injury lawsuit against his or her employer.
It still may be possible, however, for an employee to pursue a lawsuit against parties other than the employer − such as a negligent contractor or the maker of a defective product. This type of “third-party claim” may still be possible for you, even if your recovery from your employer is limited to workers’ compensation.
