When you go to work every day, you don’t anticipate or plan on getting hurt. However, injuries do frequently happen when you work in a factory or warehouse setting, and though employers are supposed to provide injured employees with workers’ compensation, all too often either they or their insurance companies stand in the way, denying claims that injured workers desperately need.
At The Law Offices of Christian Petrucci, we are dedicated to getting you the benefits you need and deserve. Call us at (610) 747-0440 to learn how we will fight to get you compensation for your lost wages, medical expenses and more.
Common Factory and Warehouse Injuries
Warehouse and factory jobs involve hard work in a wide range of settings. Each workplace has its own unique hazards and processes, yet there are some injuries that seem to occur repeatedly in these environments. They include:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Falls from an elevated height
- Objects falling from a higher elevation and striking a worker
- Crush injuries to the hands or feet
- Forklift accidents
- Conveyor belt accidents
- Assembly line injuries
- Repetitive stress injuries
- Machine press accidents
- Back injuries from lifting
- Loading dock accidents
- Vehicle accidents
Workers’ compensation is a “no-fault” benefit. This means that there is no need to prove an employer is negligent to receive benefits. We at the Law Offices of Christian Petrucci will review your case to determine the best approach to filing your workers’ compensation claim, as well as to thoroughly investigate all options that may be available to you. There are others, including manufacturers and third party contractors, who may be at fault or whose negligent actions may have contributed to your injury. If so, you may be entitled to file a personal injury or product liability claim against the responsibility party, as well.
If you have suffered a work place injury in your warehouse or factory job, you need a competent, confident workers’ compensation attorney working on your behalf. Call the Law Offices of Christian Petrucci to learn more about how we can help.
