Four Big Questions In Workers Compensation Personal Injury Cases

First of all, when you come to Jay Foster, you get a lawyer who knows their business. But you also get someone willing to fight for you – not only that, but someone who will be in contact, communicate with you, hear your concerns!

That’s not always how it goes with worker’s compensation law, as we know only too well. 

But we know how you feel – if you’ve been injured on the job, you have costs. You need answers.

With that in mind, here are four questions that we ask in worker’s comp cases.

Where Did It Happen? 

Did the injury happen on business grounds? Or did it happen in the course of performing your job?

In many of these cases, people have fairly solid grounds for moving forward. We can fill you in on all of the details and how they affect your particular situation. 

How Did It Happen? 

We also look closely into how a given injury and accident happened. We look at whether work dynamics were an issue and what kinds of things, including possible negligence, led to the injury.

Who Witnessed It? 

First of all, it’s important to make it clear who the injury happened to. That’s just a given. But it’s also important to collect any eyewitnesses, if possible.

After all, as they say, the proof is in the pudding.

Even if that’s kind of a strange metaphor, discovery is critical in getting that evidence!

What Warnings Were In Place? 

Then we look at the context of the injury to see whether any applicable warnings were in place.

For example, if it had to do with chemicals, there should have been MSDS data sheets posted.

If the injury had to do with equipment, all of the proper warnings should have been there about operation.

In so many cases, these small basic things were overlooked, and that’s part of what led to someone’s personal harm to themselves and all the rest:

• Medical bills

• Lost wages

• Pain and suffering

If this describes you, call Jay Foster. Get a lawyer who cares about your situation and will answer the phone when you call!
