Workplace Injury
Nearly every occupation comes with some degree of risk of injury. From something as simple as lifting a heavy object to something as devastating as exposure to toxic chemicals, workplace injuries are common. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that nearly 3 million people are injured in workplace accidents each year. And unfortunately, there are also at least 5,000 workplace deaths each year.
A workplace injury can have a devastating impact on the victim and their loved ones. Having an attorney represent you can help you understand your legal rights and the options that may be available to you. If you suffered a workplace injury, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. Speaking with an experienced employment law attorney can help you evaluate whether legal action may be appropriate for your situation.

Filing a Workplace Injury Claim

Unfortunately, the workers’ compensation process is not always that simple. You may be denied coverage; your employer may lack adequate insurance or be directly responsible for your injuries. In these cases, consulting with Lara & Luna, APC may help you evaluate the circumstances surrounding your workplace injury.
