Understanding Work Accident Claims
Work accident claims can be complex, involving multiple parties, insurance companies, and legal systems. While workers' compensation provides vital benefits, it doesn’t always cover the full extent of your losses. That’s where we step in to explore every option for maximizing your compensation through civil lawsuits.
Types of Workplace Accidents We Handle:
Construction Site Injuries: Falls, equipment accidents, and structural collapses.
Defective Machinery: Injuries caused by malfunctioning tools or equipment.
Slip and Fall Accidents: Hazards like wet floors or poor lighting leading to injuries.
Motor Vehicle Accidents: On-the-job crashes involving company vehicles or negligent third parties.
Workplace Explosions and Fires: Severe burn injuries and other damages from unsafe conditions.
Our team thoroughly investigates the circumstances of your accident to identify all liable parties and build a strong claim on your behalf.
Third-Party Liability in Durham Work Accidents
While workers’ compensation can cover medical expenses and a portion of lost wages, it doesn’t provide compensation for pain and suffering or other non-economic damages. However, you may be able to pursue a third-party claim if someone other than your employer contributed to your injury.
Common Examples of Third-Party Liability:
Defective Products: Manufacturers of faulty machinery or tools.
Negligent Contractors or Subcontractors: Unsafe practices by other companies working on the same site.
Motorists: Drivers who caused accidents while you were on the job.
Property Owners: Failing to maintain safe premises for workers performing job duties.
Our experienced attorneys work tirelessly to hold third parties accountable, helping you recover the full compensation you deserve.
The Process of Filing a Work Accident Claim
How We Help You Every Step of the Way:
Free Consultation: We’ll evaluate your case, explain your options, and answer your questions during an initial meeting.
Comprehensive Investigation: Our team gathers crucial evidence, such as accident reports, witness statements, and maintenance records, to build your case.
Determine Liability: We analyze the evidence to identify all responsible parties and establish fault.
File Your Claim or Lawsuit: Whether pursuing workers’ comp benefits, filing a third-party lawsuit, or both, we handle all case filings and paperwork accurately and on time.
Negotiation & Litigation: We aggressively negotiate with insurance companies but are fully prepared to take your case to trial if necessary.
At Hyland, Padilla & Fowler, PLLC, we manage the legal complexities of your case so you can focus on healing.
