Serious Injuries in the Workplace
Warehouses, factories, and other workplaces can be dangerous. Machines that are used are capable of causing serious injuries, such as amputations and disfigurement, in a matter of minutes.
At Shollenberger Januzzi & Wolfe, LLP, we understand the legal questions and concerns that may arise after an individual has been the victim of a disfigurement or amputation. We strive to handle your legal issues so that you can focus on healing.
How These Accidents Occur
Amputations and disfigurement in the workplace may result from various accidents, including defective machinery, improperly trained employees, employee negligence, failure to provide proper safety equipment, and improperly stored chemicals. This can result in serious injuries, such as the loss of a limb or serious scarring that requires a lifetime of medical care.
We understand the emotions that our clients experience after a serious workplace injury. Our attorneys work to put clients at ease while pursuing compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
Common Questions
Clients often have many questions that may factor into their legal cases. When pursuing compensation and holding someone responsible, we must obtain answers to a range of questions, such as:
- Will a prosthetic device be needed?
- What is the cost of a prosthetic device?
- Will the victim ever be able to return to work or work at a job again?
- What is the cost of physical therapy and rehabilitation that may be needed?
- Will different accommodations be needed in the home?
- What is the potential for future medical care that may be needed?
- Are there some potential complications of the injury?
Clients are not alone in their cases. We stand by injured workers and their families to ensure that their best interests are being addressed and that they can move on with their lives as much as possible.
