Seeking Compensation for Injuries on the Job
If you've been injured in a workplace accident, your medical care and lost wages are covered by workers' compensation, and you can't sue your employer. But if your injuries were caused by defective equipment or a contractor's negligence, you may have an additional claim.
At Corsiglia McMahon & Allard in San Jose, our California workplace accident attorneys help injured workers bring personal injury claims against parties other than their employers. For a free consultation to determine whether you have a claim, contact us today. You will pay nothing unless we win your case.
Identifying the Responsible Parties to Pursue Legal Claims
The lawyers at our firm help clients bring personal injury claims against warehouse owners, defective product manufacturers, uninsured employers, contractors, subcontractors, lessors and other third parties whose negligence caused their workplace accidents.
- If a conveyor belt or scaffolding fell and caused a serious or catastrophic injury, you may have a case against the manufacturer of the product.
- Were you injured by a forklift, a defective lift gate or other unsafe equipment, tools or products? The manufacturer may be responsible for your injuries.
- Did a delivery truck driver cause a collision? Did you fall because a contractor left debris at a work site? You may have a case for compensation beyond workers' compensation.
We do not handle workers' compensation cases, but if you are having trouble getting the California workers' comp benefits you deserve after a workplace accident, we can refer you to a lawyer who can assist in the securing of those benefits while we examine your possible third-party claims.
Don't hesitate to contact a lawyer to tell us about your workplace accident. Our lawyers will listen to your story and determine whether you have a case against another party. If someone else's actions or negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to damages.
