ChatEach day, workers arrive at their jobs only to face dangerous working conditions, inadequate or missing safety gear, and improper instructions from supervisors. Of course, many of these workers end up injured on the job—often very seriously injured. Expensive medical or surgical treatments typically follow, forcing workers to take time off and lose wages.
Workplace injuries are a nightmare. As a Massachusetts workplace injury attorney, I know firsthand the toll these injuries take on hard-working employees in our communities.
Getting help from an experienced personal injury lawyer after being hurt on the job is critical to securing your right to compensation. Call an attorney right away to put yourself in the strongest position to win your case.
Bottaro Injury Lawyers routinely help injured workers build strong cases and recover substantial monetary damages.
Read today’s blog to help you evaluate your or your loved one’s recent workplace injuries. In today’s case review, our client suffered severe arm injuries after an avoidable accident at his landscaping job. Even if your circumstances and/or injuries are different, call us to discuss what a potential settlement may look like for you!
Landscaper Told to Perform Construction Work Without Adequate Safety Gear or Precautions.
One day, like any other, our client showed up for work expecting to perform landscaping duties at a site in Norwell, Massachusetts.
Many of our clients are forced to deal with the painful aftermath of workplace accidents. Always pay attention to injuries you suffer at work and seek medical attention as needed.
Once at the site, however, our client was asked to help construct an outdoor stairway. He was not given any safety gear to wear while performing this construction work. Nor was he warned that the heavy construction materials could slip free from the device used to move them. When a large piece of concrete suddenly fell and trapped our client’s arm, he suffered serious injuries.
Our client never should have been standing so close to the falling concrete. His employer owed him a duty to address unsafe conditions at the worksite, but the employer failed to warn our client of the danger.
Workplace Injury Leads to Painful Injuries and Surgery
Our client reported chest and arm pain at the scene, and he went to a local hospital for treatment. He then underwent surgery to repair the damage to his lower arm, which featured bone fractures and extensive damage to the skin. Our client ultimately endured hours of physical therapy to regain the full use of his arm and get back to work to support his family.
Why Do I Need to Consult With a Massachusetts Workplace-Injury Attorney to Handle My Case?
Many people think that they don’t need to retain an attorney to handle their “straightforward” workplace-injury cases, and some try to resolve their cases with insurance companies on their own. However, studies show that those who hire an attorney receive, on average, three times the amount of monetary compensation. This is because skilled and local personal injury attorneys, like ours at Bottaro Injury Lawyers, know how to deal with large insurance companies that want to pay out as little as possible.
Our firm routinely supports victims in Massachusetts and Rhode Island workplace accidents. Our goal is for you to focus on recovering while we build your case. In this client’s case, we were able to use medical records, photographs, and medical bills to make his case—the landscape company’s insurance carrier agreed to settle with our client for $380,000.00.
We are so grateful that our client turned to us at Bottaro Injury Lawyers to help him recover from his workplace injuries. We urge everyone to be on the lookout for unsafe conditions at work!
