WORK ACCIDENTS HAPPEN
Big rebar cages (piles) ready to crane into the bedrock.
Big rebar cages (piles) ready to crane into the bedrock. Jobs like this demand optimal safety. Open pits, sharp rebar, cliffs. City inspections, engineering inspections, deputy concrete inspections, and good supervision keep job sites injury free and free of the need to whistleblow. Blow the whistle before you, or a coworker gets hurt.
However, if you were hurt on a dangerous jobsite, you need to protect yourself by getting an experienced workers compensation lawyer. (909) 663-2100
Workers compensation claims can get employees paid while they are out on a disability leave. There can also be compensation for permanent injuries. The legal fees for workers compensation is very low. The percent is less than 20%, and must be approved by the court. Without an experienced work injury lawyer, employees will have no idea what their claim is worth. They may also agree to have a doctor examine them that the workers compensation bar knows to favor the employer. Agreed and qualified medical examinations (AMEs and QMEs) are extremely important in determining the value of a workers compensation case. Please, do not try to handle it on your own. Law firms frequently receive calls from employees who decided not to hire attorneys. The claims have been pending for way too long without resolution. Sometimes the employee entered into a terrible settlement release when they need continuing medical treatment and have a permanent injury. Unknowing employees may also have waived their right to sue their employer for things other than work injuries.
