Workplace Accident Lawyer Assisting Clients in Los Angeles

An employee working in a warehouse, an office environment, or on a high-rise construction site, can all suffer work accidents and injuries on the job or in the work place.  A work injury could be severe enough to result in a wrongful death.  Similarly, a customer may also be seriously injured when they are on the property of a business or company, or if they are merely passing by a construction work site and a piece of equipment or material injures a passerby.

Worksite Accident Injuries

While most employees are required to bring a workers compensation claim for any injuries they suffered - patrons, customers and pedestrians who suffer injuries on or nearby these work sites may be able to bring a civil claim for any worksite accident injuries they have suffered.  Two of the most common work-place accidents are slip, trip and fall accidents as well as falling accidents, such as objects falling off a shelf.

A LA workers compensation attorney would fight for the rights of employees to recover under an insurance claim for work comp resulting from your work accident.  An employee is entitled to recover and be compensated for work related medical expenses, prescription drug expenses, rehabilitation, physical therapy, lost-wages, and pain-and-suffering if the employee was not negligent in causing the Los Angeles workplace injury.  For those people who are injured on a company's property and are not employees of that company are not limited to recovery under workers compensation where they may receive compensation through settlement or a jury verdict.

Property Must Be Kept In A Safe And Well Maintained Manner

Overall, employers and owners of property have a duty and a responsibility to keep their property in a safe well-maintained state.  This responsibility extends to work vehicles and all property of the company.  If a work truck or vehicle was involved in an accident because it was not properly maintained, the innocent victims who were injured in that truck accident may seek compensation from both the employee and the employee's company.  Depending on the size of the company you are seeking compensation from, it is very likely that they will have a law firm retained to fight any claims against their company, their stores or their employees.  Instead of attempting to fight these large companies alone, our workplace accident lawyer will assist you in recovering the compensation you so rightly deserve.
