Employers have a responsibility to ensure that their workers are safe on the job. Even in industries where workers face unavoidable danger, such as construction and maritime trades, employers must ensure that all proper safety precautions have been taken. When a worker is injured on the job, he or she may be able to prove that the negligence of an employer or third-party contractor contributed to those injuries. If you or someone you love has been injured or suffered wrongful death as the result of a workplace accident, the attorneys at Mark & Associates, P.C. will investigate all potential claims and defend your rights.
Workers’ compensation insurance programs are designed to ensure that people injured on the job receive proper care in order to return to work as soon as possible. While these systems are usually efficient and effective, problems do sometimes arise for injured workers. In some cases, legitimate claims are denied. In others, workers who accept workers’ compensation benefits are then prevented from taking legal action against a negligent employer or third party who may be liable for their injuries. The attorneys at Mark & Associates, P.C. have the experience and resources to ensure that injured workers recover the maximum compensation to which they are entitled. We have successfully litigated on behalf of injured workers in a range of cases, including:
When workers’ compensation benefits are awarded, they are rarely enough to cover the monumental costs many injured workers face in the form of medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses. In fact, in some cases it is more beneficial for injured workers to deny workers’ compensation benefits and pursue legal action against negligent parties who contributed to their injuries. Each workplace injury case is different, but the fact that injured workers need serious legal representation remains consistent. If you or someone you love has been injured on the job, Contact Mark & Associates, P.C. to have your case reviewed immediately by one of our workers’ compensation attorneys.
