We Help Injured People Find Financial Recovery

It is the responsibility of a business owner, property owner or the general contractor on a construction site to inspect the site for slip and fall hazards and missing safety equipment, and to ensure that equipment and vehicles used for the business are properly maintained. When they fail to meet these safety requirements, they should be held responsible for injuries to their workers.

Our workplace accident attorneys have an outstanding reputation for pursuing financial recovery from all responsible parties, including manufacturers of defective products used by injured workers. Whether injured on a construction site or in a factory setting, our priority is to help you collect the compensation you deserve.

Types of Workplace Accidents

At Fishbeyn & Briskin, we assist individuals who have been injured in all types of workplace accidents:

Forklifts and cranes can be exceedingly dangerous to the construction workers who use them. If these heavy machines are not well-maintained, the forklift driver or crane operator can suffer a catastrophic injury (including a brain injury or spinal cord injury) or even die as a result of their injuries.

If you were injured in a welding accident or your loved one died from burns sustained in a propane or acetylene explosion, we can help. Our industrial accident lawyers have extensive experience in welding-related injuries, and have access to welding experts to prove the true cause of the accident.

Mechanical failures of containment equipment for toxic chemicals, solvents and compressed gases used in manufacturing or finishing processes can expose workers to immediate burn injuries, eye injuries, skin rashes or toxic exposure, as well as long-term illness.

Any type of manufacturing or industrial equipment can become hazardous if it is not properly run or maintained. Whether caused by electrical shorts, frayed wires or cables, unshielded moving parts or defective automatic shut-off features, faulty machinery can lead to catastrophic injuries. If you were injured by defective machinery or a defective industrial product, contact Fishbeyn & Briskin.

Workers’ Compensation Claims

Fishbeyn & Briskin pursues financial recovery for workers who have been injured by defective products or by the negligent actions of third parties. We do not handle workers’ compensation claims unless your employer did not carry workers’ compensation insurance.

Every on-the-job injury should be evaluated to check for the extent of the damage and to see if a third-party claim exists. If your workplace accident can also (or only) be covered by workers’ compensation, we are happy to refer you to a workers’ compensation attorney located in our office suite.
