Financial Recovery From Work Injuries
A workplace accident can result in an injury that leaves you too injured to work and earn a living for weeks, months or forever — and that's not the worst that can happen. On-the-job accidents are also responsible for thousands of workplace fatalities in the U.S. every year.
Work injury cases can be legally complicated. If you were injured at work, it is important to have an experienced lawyer review your case and advise you of your legal rights and options.
Experienced in Work Injury Claims
The attorneys of Carrico Law Offices have successfully resolved work injury claims for clients hurt in a broad range of on-the-job accidents, including those involving:
- Mining accidents
- Logging accidents
- Industrial accidents
- Construction accidents
- Falls from ladders, roofs or scaffolding
- Work-related vehicle accidents
- Defective equipment, tools or other products
In most work injury cases, your employer's workers' compensation insurance will pay your medical bills and a portion of your wages. However, if the employer deliberately disregarded safety standards and you were injured because of it, you may be able to collect financial compensation for the full extent of your damages, including pain and suffering, lost wages, lost future earning capacity and permanent disability or disfigurement. These cases are called "deliberate intent" claims.
Our law firm will carefully analyze the circumstances of your injury to determine if you have a deliberate intent claim. There is no risk, no cost and no obligation to find out if we can help you. To arrange a free initial consultation, please call 304-932-4970 or contact us by e-mail.
