At Craig Small, our founding attorney Craig Z. Small, handles all claims related to your workplace accident. Because of his significant experience handling workers' compensation and SSD claims, as well as personal injury lawsuits, he is readily able to pursue the compensation and benefits to which you are entitled.
Possible sources of compensation for workplace injuries include:
- Workers' compensation: If you are injured in the course of your employment, your employer should provide you with workers' compensation benefits. These benefits provide for medical treatment and lost wages following a work-related accident.
- Social Security disability: If you have suffered a permanent disability, or an injury that keeps you from performing your job duties, you may be eligible for SSD benefits.
- Third party liability claims: In most cases, state laws prohibit an injured employee from pursuing a claim against an employer (except in certain types of construction accidents). However, there are situations where an injured worker may pursue legal action against a third party whose negligence caused serious on-the-job injuries. For example, an injured worker may pursue a defective product action against a negligent manufacturer.
