West Virginia Fall Accident Attorney

Regarding Fall Accidents

Injuries from falls are common workplace accidents. Construction accidents such as scaffolding accidents and ladder falls account for a number of serious jobsite injuries. Fall accidents can result temporary or permanent disabilities from broken bones, spinal cord injuries, organ injuries, broken backs and brain injuries. The cost in lost man hours and family devastation is high. If you have been injured in a fall at work, reported your accident promptly and experience any difficulty with obtaining workers' comp benefits, you need to seek the advice of a trusted West Virginia workers' compensation attorney who can take action on your behalf to ensure you receive full benefits.

Fall Accident Lawyer in West Virginia

Most on-the-job injuries on investigation turn out to have been preventable. They could have been prevented except someone was negligent about taking the proper steps to safeguard others. As a worker injured on the job you cannot sue your employer except under specific circumstances. If an employer knew that a hazard existed and in ordering a worker to do a task, the employer knew there was a significant risk of a serious accident occurring, a "deliberate intent" or Mandolidis case could be filed against the employer. Depending upon the circumstances, known safety and OSHA violations which are the cause of severe or catastrophic injury may be grounds for such a case. A defective ladder or scaffolding which results in injury may be grounds for a third party suit to recover damages.
