Aggressive Litigators For Industrial Accident Injuries
Working in a manufacturing plant, a warehouse, on a loading dock and in other industrial settings frequently exposes workers to heavy equipment, tools and machinery, that can lead to significant personal injuries. Workplace and industrial accidents involving another party’s negligence — from an architect or consulting engineer’s flawed design to malfunctioning, defective products — do present the possibility of taking legal action. It is vital for injured workers to understand all of their legal options to protect their rights and financial stability.
If you or a loved one has been seriously hurt in an industrial accident in New York or New Jersey, your decision to contact the trial-proven personal injury lawyers at Liakas Law, P.C., can be the key to getting the financial help you need and deserve. Injured workers often only look to workers’ compensation as a source of compensation. However, if a third party was negligent in causing your injuries, you may be entitled to damages that workers’ compensation does not provide.
Our attorneys are well-prepared to aggressively pursue compensation in personal injury claims against negligent parties across the spectrum of industrial accidents, including:
- Marine and railroad worker accidents
- Manufacturing industry accidents
- Accidents involving defective tools, equipment and machinery
- Roof and structural collapses
- Warehouse accidents
- Loading dock accidents
- Injuries suffered in fires and explosions
- Construction site accidents
FELA And Jones Act Claims
Pursuing Compensation For Maritime And Railroad Worker Injuries
Railroad workers and longshoremen face significant challenges on the job on a daily basis. The risk for injury due to a railroad or maritime accident is significant. Federal law recognizes not only the importance of these industries to the economy, but also the importance of a safe work environment for the hard-working men and women on the rails and at sea. Unlike traditional job related accidents, under federal law, railroad and maritime workers who suffer job-related injuries can recover money damages directly from their employer if they prove that their employer was negligent.
Thorough Investigation And Unsurpassed Personal Service
Our lawyers and legal team start with a thorough and detailed investigation to prove negligence and liability. We have a strong command of the relevant safety regulations, statutes, rules and procedures that apply to railroad and maritime worker injuries. Because we are selective in the cases we handle, our attorneys remain highly involved with clients every step of the way to allow us to fully understand the full impact of injuries in a railroad accident or injury suffered by a person who works on a vessel. With a complete picture of the extent of the harm a client has experienced we are able to aggressively value a case. Meaningful results are only achieved through hard work and a full analysis of every detail of each individual case.
The Federal Employers’ Liability Act (“FELA”) For Railroad Worker Injuries
Railroad workers who suffer an on-the-job injury (or the family of a fatal accident victim) may pursue a claim or lawsuit against the railroad under FELA. The processes and rules are complex, making it critical for victims to work with a knowledgeable trial attorney who knows the nuances of the law. Our legal team focuses on complex personal injury litigation and has experience taking on railroad companies and other common carriers to maximize compensation for our clients. You may be entitled to compensation to cover lost wages, medical bills and pain and suffering, as well as other damages associated with the work-related accident or occupational illness.
The Jones Act Covers Job-Related Maritime Injuries
The Jones Act was modeled on the FELA statute to provide individuals who work on vessels on any waterway to have access to compensation for damages. The Jones Act allows any individual who works aboard a boat or ship and contributes to the vessel’s objectives to seek compensation for work-related injuries caused by the negligence of his or her employer. The Jones Act extends to work-related injuries suffered ashore in many circumstances. Our goal is always focused on obtaining the full and fair compensation our clients deserve.
