Injuries at Work

Injury at Work

Many people believe that if they are injured at work, the only compensation available to them is workers' compensation. While that is true in some cases, it is not true in all. You may be entitled to additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. We represent injured workers in personal injury lawsuits throughout Ohio. 

We will investigate the situation and determine what the likely cause of the workplace accident was. If a third party was involved, then we can file a personal injury lawsuit to recover more compensation than you would get through workers' comp. 

The possible scenarios involving third-party liability are almost limitless, but a few examples include:

A lawsuit against the manufacturer of a machine, scaffolding or other item that was defective

A claim against the driver of a truck at a construction site

A claim against a subcontractor

Exposure to toxic substances at a worksite

Violation of Specific Safety Regulations (VSSR)

The state of Ohio provides additional compensation for victims of workplace accidents when an employer violates a specific safety regulation. At Slater & Zurz LLP, we regularly bring in engineers and other experts who can help determine whether there was a mechanical, electrical, or structural violation at the worksite.
