Work Injuries

Pennsylvania Work Injury Lawyers

Work injuries result from accidents at the workplace occurring in the course of employment. Safety should be a given. Everybody, from equipment manufacturers to contractors, has to do everything possible to minimize the chance of workplace accidents. When an accident occurs on a construction site, the effects can be devastating.

If you or a family member has suffered an on-the-job injury or fatal accident at work, let an experienced attorney evaluate the facts of the case. We can help. Contact a workers' compensation lawyer at Naftulin and Shick today. There is no cost to discuss your case, and we only take a fee if we recover a settlement for you. We represent clients throughout Bucks County, Carbon County, Lehigh County, Montgomery County, and Northampton County.

When corners are cut, the results can be catastrophic. Often, the workers involved are tragically injured. Many permanently lose their ability to work and support their families. Due to faulty machinery, falling debris, a collapsed trench, or negligent safety precautions, possible workplace or construction accident injuries can include:

• Back injury
• Brain or spinal cord injury
• Traumatic amputation or dismemberment
• Eye injury
• Crush injury
• Broken bones
• Wrongful death

There may be benefits available to the injured worker through worker’s compensation insurance. There may also be a claim for compensation against the individual or company responsible for the workplace accident. At Naftulin and Shick, our attorneys have nearly 40 years of experience representing injury victims. We can handle all workers' comp and third party injury claims.

To be eligible for workers' compensation, the injuries must be sustained during the course and scope of employment or be related to employment. Most disputed claims involve the second issue. Is the injury work-related? If you are severely injured by machinery at work, the company will most likely agree that your injury is work related. In many cases your injury or illness may be an aggravation of a pre-existing condition. In these cases, you may need a medical witness to give an opinion regarding your bodily injury and the services of a skilled personal injury attorney to prove your case.

If you or anyone you know has experienced a work injury and your employer has failed to give you benefits to which you are entitled, please contact a lawyer at Naftulin & Shick today. We will listen to you, evaluate the circumstances of your work injury, and advocate relentlessly for a fair settlement on your behalf.
