Pasadena Accident & Injury Lawyers
On the Job Injuries
If you or a loved one has been hurt on the job, you may be asking yourself whether or not you need an attorney. Many individuals mistakenly believe that if they are injured on the job they are automatically entitled to workers compensation, but as many individuals find out this is not always true. Employers and insurance companies frequently discourage injured workers from claiming workers compensation because they are the ones ultimately paying for this. If you or a loved one has been injured on the job, it is in your best interest to speak with a Pasadena personal injury attorney. At the Law Offices of Gerald L. Marcus, our lawyers have experience handling cases involving on the job injuries and know how to handle employers and insurance companies who may try to cheat injured workers out of the compensation they deserve.
Sometimes an accident in the workplace is really just an accident, and in these cases workers compensation is appropriate for the inured victim. In other cases, accidents occur as the result of someone’s carelessness or negligence, and in this type of situation you will need an attorney to help you take the proper legal actions against the responsible party. Some common types of on the job injuries include the following:
- Oil & Gas Explosions
- Truck Accidents
- Car Accidents
- Falling Debris
- Chemical Leaks or Spills
- Toxic Injuries such as those from asbestos, ammonia, and petrochemical compounds
- Construction site accidents such as scaffolding collapses and crank malfunctions
- Manufacturing accidents involving defective tools and faulty machinery
