Lexington Workplace Accident Lawyer

Employers are required to provide employees with a safe place to work. That means that, when a person suffers an injury as a result of an employer’s mistakes, a third party’s mistake, or failure to ensure safety, it becomes critical for the at-fault party to pay for the losses incurred.

A component of that is filing a claim for losses through a personal injury claim.

Because that process can be complex, our Lexington workplace accident lawyer works with victims to ensure you are treated fairly. At Gary C. Johnson, Attorneys at Law, P.S.C., our Lexington personal injury lawyer becomes your advocate, fighting for you to receive fair treatment under the law.

Common Types of Third Party Workplace Accidents in Lexington

From the large factories to the retail centers and the tech businesses, there are countless types of businesses operating in the city that all must ensure their workplace is safe for employees. Some of the most common causes of third party workplace accidents from our experience include:

• Equipment failures and crushing accidents
• Vehicle-related accidents
• Construction site accidents where third parties such as project managers, subcontractors, property owners, and building designers could be at-fault
• Exposure injuries due to failed safety protocols

In every situation, our legal team works to best understand what happened in your case. We consider whether an employer or third party failed to provide a safe environment, a lack of training contributed to the incident, a product failed to work properly, or the necessary safety equipment was not present.

We also consider the role other employees played in your accident.

How Our Lexington Workplace Accident Attorneys Help You

When you are hurt in an accident at work, seek medical care immediately if you are struggling with life-threatening injuries. If possible, let your employer know what happened and go to the facility they recommend for medical care. Once you get the care you need, let our attorneys help you move your case forward.

• We will guide you in answering all insurance-related questions. This includes any requirements set by the employer’s workers’ compensation adjusters.
• Let us help you gather evidence to prove you were not at fault. If you were acting recklessly at the time of the accident, it may be more challenging to prove this. However, our extensive experience will ensure that we examine all possible scenarios.
• We build your case value based on all of the losses you have. We consider factors such as your current medical bills and future medical losses you may have. We also look at the time lost and whether you will be able to go back to work after your accident.
• Let our attorneys negotiate on your behalf. We look at all factors that could be used to hold the at-fault party responsible, and use that to leverage your claim.
• In some situations, especially where your losses are significant, it becomes essential that you seek legal action in a court of law if the insurance company is not treating you fairly.

Workplace accident injuries caused by third parties are not always direct and fair. With the guidance of an attorney, you can minimize the risk that you will be treated in an unfair manner throughout this process.
