Most people might not realize that workers' compensation is not necessarily their only source of recovery if they have been injured in a workplace accident. If a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or other party beyond your employer can be proven liable, it is possible to bring a suit directly against them for additional compensation. If you believe you have a job injury claim involving one of the following, we can help:

  • Work-related motor vehicle accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Ladder of scaffold falls
  • Faulty, unsafe or poorly maintained equipment or premises
  • Subcontractor negligence
