If you can't work because of a workplace injury, life can be difficult. Your income might be reduced or gone, and you might fear for the future of you and your family. Stutes & Lavergne represents injured workers to ensure that their rights are protected.
In addition to representing you on your Workers' Compensation claim, we also fully investigate your accident to determine if other people or companies might be responsible. By investigating the circumstances of your particular accident and the relevant safety standards, we fully explore the avenues of recovery available for your unique situation.
Although advances in technology have created many jobs that are not as physically demanding as jobs of the past, workplace injuries are still a common, everyday occurrence. Today's on-the-job injuries include stress-related problems, psychological illnesses, carpel tunnel and radial tunnel syndromes, strained muscles, torn ligaments, herniated disks, broken bones, and amputations.
Unlike a regular negligence suit, the injured employee doesn't have to prove that the accident was caused by someone else's fault to receive worker's compensation benefits. He only has to show that his injury occurred while he was on the job. If you are injured on the job, regardless of who is responsible or the extent of your injury, it will always be in your best interest to immediately report it to your employer and immediately seek the appropriate medical attention.
