Connecticut Workplace Accident Injury Claims

You have a right to a safe workplace. Yet each year thousands of workers are killed or seriously injured while working on highway projects, high-rise buildings, shopping malls, housing projects, factories, and more. Safety regulations such as the Occupational Safety and Health Act and similar state laws require property owners, project owners, general contractors and sub-contractors to equip their employees and maintain their construction operations in a safe and proper manner. Unfortunately these rules are often overlooked or ignored. At Patrick J. Filan, we advise workplace injury victims about their right to compensation for accidents suffered on the job. In addition to lost wages and medical benefits available under workers' compensation, you may be entitled to additional compensation for economic losses, pain and suffering, permanent disability, future medical costs, loss of consortium, and more. Our workplace injury clients include such workers as the following:

• Factory and assembly employees
• Construction workers
• Truckers and other professional or commercial vehicle drivers
• Health care professionals
• Waterfront, warehouse and loading dock employees
• Highway projects
• High-rise buildings
• Shopping malls
• Housing projects
• Factories

Work place injuries such as brain damage, quadriplegia or extensive or extensive burns may be very severe if not fatal.

If you or a loved one was injured on the job, contact us today. Make sure you receive all that you are entitled to.
