Work Accidents
Work related injuries can be very disruptive to your life. Your injury may prevent you from working, thereby causing a financial hardship. In these circumstances, financial assistance is needed quickly to cope with the impact of these injuries. The Pintas & Mullins Law Firm has the extensive experience to guide you through the process of obtaining financial assistance you need for medical treatment and recovery for lost wages. Often, injured workers are worried about their job security after filing a workers’ compensation claim. Our legal team understands your concerns, and seeks to ensure your workers’ compensation case is handled promptly while fighting to make sure you receive maximum damages for your injuries.
When you are injured due to and during the course of your employment, workers’ compensation laws mandate that you are owed compensation for your injuries. Each state's workers’ compensation law protects employees who have been injured on the job or contracted a work-related illness. Under these laws, employers are required to provide workers' compensation insurance coverage to each employee. The coverage may cover lost time from work, medical bills, and resulting permanent disabilities.
Some common types of workers’ compensation injuries include but are not limited to:
- Carpal Tunnel
- Injuries from Lifting Heavy Equipment
- Injuries from Defective Machinery
- Injuries from Fires or Explosions
- Illnesses Contracted from an Unhealthy Work Environment, such as mesothelioma.
