When it comes to workers’ compensation, we need to know that there are different types of settlements for workers’ comp awards. They take into account the body part injured and the type of accident that occurred.
A construction worker was injured when the floor sealant he was using ignited, resulting in an explosion which caused him multiple burns that required skin grafts. The Platta Law Firm won a $1,650,000 settlement in this case for our client.
Tractor trailer accidents are not as frequent as car accidents, nor any other type of vehicle accidents. But, when they do occurred, they tend to be really serious accidents, causing major damage and injuries to the properties and people involved.
An injured worker can collect workers’ comp payments, every week, depending on the reason of termination of employment. The workers comp insurance carrier is only liable if certain conditions apply.
On March 16, 2017, one of our clients was injured as he was involved in a mobile scaffold accident. He was a carpenter who was working in a building under construction. This accident occurred during one of his first days working in this construction site.
One of the most common injuries that make construction workers call attorneys is when they hurt their backs. 20% of all injuries that are related to the workplace have to do with back injuries. Another 30% of back injuries result from car accidents.
