Have you or a
loved one been injured in a work-related accident?
Thousands of employees are injured at work every year and
many work accidents result in serious injuries
and death. If you were injured at work then you may be
entitled to compensation for your injuries. Depending
upon the circumstances of the injury, you may be
eligible to receive compensation through either the workers'
compensation system, or a personal injury lawsuit, or
both.
Your employer is responsible for taking all reasonable
measures to secure your safety on the job.
Not all
injuries are physical. If you have suffered physically,
emotionally or financially, you may be entitled to
financial compensation for these losses. In fatal cases,
families may also be entitled to compensation.

Some injuries
can lead to permanent disabilities, however not all injuries
are permanent. As a result, you may be entitled to
payment for a partial impairment. Partial impairment
results in an incapacity that prevents an employee from
doing their job. Medical evidence will determine the
extent of your temporary as well as permanent
disability. The value of your claim depends, in large
part, on the extent of your injury and the cause.
