Construction Site, Third-Party Claims

If you are a construction worker, chances are one in ten that you'll be injured, either temporarily or permanently, in a mishap on your site. Our prestigious Greensboro law firm has experience handling workers' compensation and permanent disability claims for all types of circumstances, including scaffolding, crane, conveyor, and ladder accidents, fire explosions, compressed gases accidents, and welding accidents. We can also handle work site injury claims against third parties for their negligence, as well as manage the workers' compensation aspect of the case.

Types of Workers' Compensation Injuries

As a Schlosser & Pritchett client, you may be eligible for compensation for the following injuries:

• Preexisting conditions aggravated or accelerated by the workplace
• Injuries caused during breaks, lunch hours, and work-sponsored activities
• Diseases such as lung cancer or mesothelioma, if contracted by exposure to toxins
• Injuries resulting from mental and physical strain, such as herniated discs, shoulder impingement, and knee or shoulder arthroscopy

The workers' compensation system of laws was designed to allow legitimately injured employees to receive compensation for work-related injuries. However, these laws vary from state to state and are accompanied by specific procedural requirements. To assure that you receive fair and just compensation for pain and suffering, and lost wages, among other factors, we urge you to contact our Schlosser & Pritchett workers' compensation injury lawyers as soon as possible after you are injured. Because times like these is when experience counts.

Experience Protecting Your Rights

An experienced workers' compensation lawyer can explain your pain and suffering in financial terms to those who caused your injury or denied your claim. If someone other than your employer or coworker was partly at fault for the harm done to you, you may be able to file a liability insurance claim against that person or business.

In addition, if your accident is not covered by workers' compensation, if you are an independent contractor, or a company lacks workers' compensation insurance, you may be entitled to bring legal action against someone for whom you were working, just as you could file against any other person who caused you personal injury.

In such a case, you may be able to receive compensation that you couldn't recover in a workers' compensation claim, including any attorney's fees, damages for pain and suffering, and punitive damages, which punish the party that played a role in your injury.
