Casa de Oro-Mount Helix Workers' Comp & Personal Injury Lawyer

Workplace accidents are defined as any injury sustained at work as a result of another’s negligence or abuse of property or machinery. If you work in a stockroom and are harmed by another employee using heavy gear irresponsibly, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation. If you were injured at Casa de Oro-Mount Helix and were unable to execute your job obligations, it is worth looking into workers’ compensation coverage to determine if you are covered. An experienced attorney can help you assess if you are eligible and whether you should go to court to get what you deserve from your employer. Unfortunately, many businesses have policies in place that take advantage of these justifications. Many companies will test for drugs after an accident, which does not always prove that the employee was under the influence at the time of the accident, but it does keep the employer from having to pay. To avoid paying an employee, a company may claim that he or she did not follow the regulations or guidelines. Because most work-related injuries need workers’ compensation, businesses make a concerted effort to avoid paying.
