Common Workplace Hazards That Can Lead to Personal Injury Claims
Inhalation of toxic substances or skin contact with harmful chemicals can lead to serious illness and long-term health damage. Mr. Fisher understands how to prove liability in complex chemical exposure cases, especially when employers downplay unsafe conditions.
Injuries from falling objects, machinery malfunctions, or heavy lifting accidents are common in industrial jobs. These incidents can result in broken bones, head trauma, or spinal injuries, all of which may qualify for a personal injury claim.
Gas leaks or combustion accidents can cause catastrophic injuries, including burns and permanent disability. Mr. Fisher works with industry experts to determine what went wrong and who should be held responsible.
Repetitive tasks, especially those involving awkward posture or force, can cause long-term musculoskeletal damage. These injuries are often underestimated by employers but may warrant compensation if they stem from unsafe working conditions.
Wet floors, cluttered walkways, and poor lighting can all contribute to slip and fall incidents. These injuries may seem minor at first but can have lasting consequences, and someone else’s negligence may be to blame.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
In a successful personal injury case, you may be compensated for:
- Property damage
- Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of quality of life
To qualify, you must prove that someone else’s negligence directly caused your injuries. That’s where an experienced personal injury lawyer like Mr. Fisher becomes essential to build your case, manage negotiations, and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Personal Injury Claims vs. Workers’ Compensation
A personal injury claim can lead to higher compensation than a workers’ comp case, but it also comes with more risk. Personal injury lawsuits often include damages for pain and suffering, but they require proof of negligence and may take longer to resolve through settlement or trial.
By contrast, workers’ compensation benefits are typically paid faster and don’t require you to prove fault. However, they don’t cover non-economic damages like emotional distress or reduced quality of life. And once you file a workers’ comp claim, you usually give up the right to sue your employer or coworker for the same incident.
Each path has pros and cons, and choosing the wrong one could limit your recovery. Contact Mr. Fisher at our Fresno legal office to discuss your options in a free consultation.
What Every Injured Worker Should Know About Workers’ Comp
Mr. Fisher explains the no-fault nature of workers’ comp, why benefits don’t always reflect the true cost of injury, and how an experienced attorney can help you secure the treatment and compensation you deserve.
Injured at Work? You May Qualify for Workers' Compensation
Workers’ compensation applies to an injury that occurred on the job. The only proof required to file a workers’ compensation claim is that the injury occurred on the job while performing duties related to your position. You can receive workers’ compensation benefits regardless of whether your injury was the result of your own or someone else’s negligence, such as your employer or a coworker.
Benefits are usually paid within a week of the injury and include compensation for medical expenses related to the injury, reimbursement of a percentage of your wages, and more.
