Do You Have A Workplace Injury?
If you’ve been injured in a work accident, you may be due compensation. Talk to a work injury lawyer at Albright, Stoddard, Warnick & Albright before you accept a settlement.
Southern Nevada has exciting work opportunities for those wanting to work in restaurants, big shows, casinos and other exciting venues. The problem is, those venues are just as dangerous as any other restaurant or office building, which means accidents do happen. For example, you may have slipped and fallen, fallen from a height, or suffered a severe burn because someone else was careless.
When you’re injured on the job, you may need guidance to get compensated. You may know you’re ineligible for workers compensation, for example, or you may be concerned about suing the right person. In these cases, you may need to speak with an experienced work injury lawyer. At Albright, Stoddard, Warnick & Albright, we’re prepared to help you seek compensation and overcome the losses you’ve suffered.
Can I Get Workers Compensation For My Injury?
When you’re injured on the job, it shouldn’t be difficult to get compensated. Most workers should be covered by their work comp benefits, making it easy to file a claim in Las Vegas and to take your time recovering physically.
That’s not so easy when you’re not eligible for a workers compensation claim. For example, your employer may not offer these benefits, or they may have broken a safety law. If an employer was dangerously careless, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. Your employer could also face penalties for breaking state employment and safety laws.
The good news is, you have an opportunity to seek compensation for their actions. You may have grounds to take them to court for their negligence. If your employer failed to keep you safe, call our work injury lawyers at Albright, Stoddard, Warnick & Albright for help to seek the compensation you’re due.
Compensation Available After A Work Injury
When you’re hurt in a work accident, you may be due compensation for your losses caused by the accident, also called damages. These damages should cover ways you’ve been impacted both economically and non-economically.
But it’s not always easy to get compensated for all your damages. For example, you may know what bills you need covered by your compensation, but what about the mental and emotional suffering you’ve experienced? Because these damages are intangible, you may need special tools from your Las Vegas work accident lawyer to get the maximum compensation you’re due.
Below is an example of the damages you may have suffered, including:
- Medical bills
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional trauma
