Workplace Injuries Specific Questions
Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury?
Generally, workers' compensation is the exclusive remedy against employers, but you may have third-party claims against equipment manufacturers or contractors.
What's the difference between workers' comp and a personal injury lawsuit?
Workers' comp provides limited benefits regardless of fault, while personal injury lawsuits can provide full damages including pain and suffering if a third party is liable.
How long do I have to report a workplace injury?
Most states require reporting workplace injuries within 30 days, but it's best to report immediately to preserve your rights.
General Legal Questions
Do I need to pay attorney fees upfront?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. This allows you to get quality legal representation without financial risk.
How long do I have to file a claim?
The statute of limitations varies by state, typically ranging from 1-4 years from the date of injury. It's crucial to contact an attorney immediately to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Seek medical attention immediately, document everything, avoid admitting fault, and contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How much compensation can I receive?
Workplace Injuries settlements typically range from $25,000 - $150,000, but the exact amount depends on factors like injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, if the insurance company won't offer a fair settlement, we're prepared to take your case to trial to fight for the compensation you deserve.
