Workplace and worksite accidents occur every day, in every city, town, county and state in the U.S. While these worksite accidents are often the fault of the victim's employer, most states have workers' compensation laws that preclude an employee from suing an employer and, further, limit the employee to an unfair benefit system. State laws that preclude an employee from suing an employer also generally limit the employee to an unfair workers compensation which may not provide compensation for pain and suffering.
Many of these compensation laws put specific limits on how long an injured worker may collect benefits, even if the worker is injured indefinitely. Often, in order to receive compensation that accounts for pain and suffering, a party other than the employer must be found to bear some responsibility for the injury-causing accident. Knowledge of federal and state regulations governing work site accidents may allow an attorney to develop theories against general and subcontractors that provide for legal action when it appears that such laws would prevent recovery. Further, consultation with an attorney may lead to the identification of critical witnesses and preservation of important evidence.
While there exists a myriad of laws that may impact your ability to recover for a worksite accident, a personal injury attorney can "level the playing field" with information regarding the practical and legal aspects of a personal injury lawsuit and personal injury claims.
