Injuries associated with various workplaces

Our firm represents Central Valley and Central Coast residents in a full range of workers’ compensation matters, including claims related to:

• Construction site accidents — Working on a construction site is often dangerous, and injuries from construction accidents can be life-changing, especially when they involve heavy equipment, electrocution or falls from high structures. 
• Medical problems related to shipping and receiving — Shipping, transporting and receiving cargo requires exceptional physical strength and stamina. Our firm assists victims of logistics accidents that occur in factories, on loading docks and while a truck is on the road. 
• First responder injuries — Police officers, fire fighters and emergency medical providers face various expected and unexpected hazards on the job. There are some special considerations in claims stemming from first responder injuries, so it is important to hire an attorney well versed in these cases. 
• Office worker injuries — Even employees who spend most of their day at a desk occasionally get hurt. When insurance companies question the validity of office worker injuries, we fight back on behalf of claimants. 
• Truck driver injuries — Operators of commercial vehicles could suffer a life-changing accident at any moment on the road. There are also other types of medical problems associated with truck driving, including spinal damage that results from handling cargo and various effects of spending countless hours sitting behind the wheel. 
• Nurse injuries — A nurse’s job requires a wide range of task and numerous potential hazards. Working in a hospital might lead to overexertion injuries caused by moving patients or heavy equipment. Nurses are also frequently exposed to contagious illnesses while fulfilling their professional duties.
• Farm labor and packing house injuries — Whether you are working in the field or a packing house after crops have been harvested, the physical labor required to get produce from the farm to the table can be intense. Agriculture employees could require treatment for medication conditions linked to lifting heavy objects, exposure to hazardous substances, repetitive motion and accidents involving sharp blades. 

No matter where you are employed or how you were injured, our firm offers the highest levels of representation and service for your workers’ compensation action.
