Workplace Injuries: Fighting for Your Full Compensation
Workplace injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to life-threatening accidents that impact your ability to work and support your family. Injuries caused by unsafe working conditions, faulty equipment, or negligence on the part of a coworker or employer are all grounds for seeking compensation beyond the limited scope of workers' compensation.
At Tribune Law Group, we understand the complexities of workplace injury cases and are dedicated to fighting for your rights. While workers' compensation may cover some of your medical expenses and lost wages, it often falls short when it comes to full and fair compensation, especially for long-term injuries or permanent disabilities. Our attorneys are skilled in identifying additional compensation sources, such as:
- Third-Party Liability Claims: When your injury is caused by someone other than your employer, such as a subcontractor or a manufacturer of defective equipment.
- Defective Products: If faulty equipment or machinery was the cause of your injury, you may be entitled to file a product liability claim against the manufacturer.
- Safety Regulation Violations: Employers are required to maintain safe working conditions. If a violation of OSHA or other safety regulations contributed to your injury, we will pursue the responsible parties.
What We Cover in Workplace Injury Claims:
- Medical Expenses: Coverage for hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical treatment.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for the time you’re unable to work due to your injury.
- Long-Term Disability: If your injury has left you with a permanent disability, we seek compensation to cover lost future earnings and long-term care.
- Rehabilitation Costs: Ensuring that you receive the necessary physical therapy and rehabilitation to aid in your recovery.
At Tribune Law Group, our goal is to ensure that you receive full compensation for your injuries, not just the limited benefits provided by workers’ compensation. We are dedicated to holding negligent parties accountable and helping you recover both financially and physically.
