We're well aware that construction sites present various hazards:
Violations of safety regulations and inadequate protective gear, such as goggles, hard hats, steel-toed boots, insulated gloves, and earplugs, can result in severe injuries at construction sites. Additionally, malfunctioning power tools and heavy equipment injuries are prevalent, regardless of the manufacturer, be it Kubota, Case, Black & Decker, DeWalt, Link-Belt, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Bobcat, Volvo, or Makita. Given our comprehensive understanding of OSHA regulations, we also pursue third-party claims against tool companies if your injury resulted from their defective product.
If your work involves industrial sites or operating heavy machinery, you're at risk of various serious accidents:
The workers' compensation system is designed to aid those injured in industrial or machinery accidents. However, employers and insurers often dispute claims, questioning the severity of injuries or the necessity for further treatment. Sometimes, they may push for a return to work despite ongoing recovery.
Whether you're in construction, maritime work, food service, hospitality, manufacturing, government roles, or various trades, such as carpentry, plumbing, or electrical work, we're dedicated to securing the workers' compensation benefits you're entitled to.
