Compensation for Construction and Workplace Injuries
If you have been seriously injured in a construction site accident, how do you ensure you will have the money you need for medical care and making up for lost income? Who can help you recover compensation for pain and suffering, a diminished quality of life and diminished earning capacity?
At the Law Offices of John B. Schwartz & Associates, we have handled hundreds of workers' compensation claims involving workplace safety and defective products as well as third party claims involving vendors, contractors and subcontractors. Contact our Chicago-based office if you were injured in a remodeling or construction site accident involving:
- OSHA and safety violations
- A collapsed ladder, caisson or scaffold
- A falling object
- A slip and fall accident
- Electrocution
- A car or truck accident
- An explosion or fire
- Defective or malfunctioning machinery
- Unsafe flooring, railing, roofing and ceilings
The Law Offices of John B. Schwartz & Associates can provide competent and caring representation following residential and commercial construction site accidents. We have thorough knowledge of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations as well as municipal and state regulations and ordinances. A few examples of our successful cases include:
- A settlement of $650,000 and waiver of a workers' compensation lien for a carpenter who fell off scaffolding without railings and was impaled on re-bar.
- A settlement of $225,000 and waiver of a workers' compensation lien for a laborer with a torn rotator cuff.
