Workplace Accident
A family man was doing work on a construction site in downtown Fort Lauderdale, when an accident occurred. Apparently, the man was working on the roof of a building when he fell about 16 feet from the ledge of the building. Paramedics were called to the scene and our repairman’s injuries required him to be hospitalized. He sustained injury to his wrist and he tore the left rotator cuff of his shoulder.
His family contacted an attorney’s office to seek legal counsel as to whether he would be able to file claim against the owner of the building or receive worker's compensation. His family prepared with documentation of his injuries retained an attorney in Pembroke Pines. They knew enough to get pictures of the area where the accident occurred and they provided medical bills for his visit to the hospital and for his rehab.
In cases like these where the worker was injured on the job and sustained serious or permanent personal injury, the case will be carefully reviewed to see if there is the availability of a potential third party claim. If it is found that there was third party negligence, then that third party will be liable for the damages inflicted to the victim if premises liabilty can be proved. Victims of negligence deserve to be properly compensated for their damages.
It is very important that you find an attorney that has represented victims of accident cases similar to yours as he will understand exactly what is necessary to win your case. Should you or a loved one be injured on the job or at the workplace, you should seek immediate counsel to ensure that you receive proper compensation for the damages you may have incurred.
