New Haven Industrial Injuries Lawyer
Manufacturing settings are infamous for creating dangerous conditions for industrial workers. Yet, despite the potential hazards of manufacturing plants, owners and operators have a legal responsibility to provide a safe working environment every day and for each worker. When they fail, workers have a right to file for workers' compensation benefits free of employer harassment and retaliation.
Have you been injured in a manufacturing accident while working? You should:
- Report the injury to your employer promptly
- Contact an attorney to help you fill out your claim form and help you throughout the workers' compensation process
If you don't report the injury you may lose benefits. If you fill out the claims form alone or with the help of your employer, you may damage your claim.
The Connecticut manufacturing accident attorneys of the Gillis Law Firm have handled workers' compensation claims for injured industrial workers since 1978 and can provide experienced and aggressive legal assistance, by:
- Helping you complete your claims form so that it reflects your interests, not your employer's
- Gathering evidence by obtaining accident and medical records and statements from friends and co-workers, and by visiting the accident site
- Representing you in workers' compensation hearings and appeals (if necessary)
Though the workers' compensation system may seem relatively simple, it is not, and hundreds of thousands of claims following serious injuries are denied every year. Our fee is limited by statute, lessening your cost and risk while ensuring a strongest-possible case.
