Proof of Liability and Damages for Work Injuries
If you have been injured at work, don't make the mistake of assuming that workers' compensation will be your only legal option to protect your income and access to medical treatment. If the negligence of someone other than your employer or a coworker played a significant role in the accident that caused your injuries, you probably have the right to sue for personal injury damages. These cover a much wider range of losses than workers' compensation will.
If you need to find out whether the circumstances of your accident on the job will support a personal injury claim for work injuries, contact an attorney at Bernard & Hart. We offer free consultations, and we represent people with workplace accident claims in both Louisiana and Texas.
