If you or a friend, family member or co-worker were involved in an accident at work, you might be entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits. In many instances, the benefits are substantial. If you sustain any type of accident, a slip and fall, lifting something heavy, a construction site accident, fall from a scaffold or a motor vehicle accident, you should call an experienced attorney immediately. In some instances, you might also have a personal injury claim if the accident is caused by the negligence of a third party.

If you or a friend, family member or co-worker sustains an injury over time as a result of a distinctive feature of your job, you might be entitled to substantial monetary benefits. Examples of these are carpal tunnel syndrome due to repetitive use of the hands at work such as extensive typing or data entry, exposure to any chemicals or dust at work, or spinal injuries due to repetitive lifting of heavy objects at work. When injuries occur and are caused by the work effort, you should protect your rights with an experienced attorney on your side.

In some cases, you could be entitled to substantial money even if you returned to work for the same employer without any reduction in pay. If a loved one died on the job, the surviving spouse is entitled to lifetime benefits and any dependent children are also entitled to benefits for their statutory period of dependency.
