Aversa & Linn PC

Every job or work environment has risk factors that can injure employees. You don’t need to be a coal miner or construction worker to get hurt on the job. Office workers damage back muscles lifting heavy file boxes, supermarket cashiers develop repetitive stress injuries from operating point-of-sale terminals, and delivery persons are involved in car accidents.

Injuries from your job can range from relatively minor strains, sprains and soft tissue damage to debilitating head injuries and organ failure. Any workplace contains risks that can lead to lifelong disabilities or death.

Cases We Handle

Our attorneys have handled a broad range of workplace accident claims, including those arising from:

Falls
Lifting heavy boxes and equipment
Falling merchandise, trade fixtures and other objects
Dangerous or defective equipment
Poorly maintained factories, offices and worksites
Chemical and other toxic substance exposure
Vehicle accidents
Crush injuries
Noise exposure

Accidents at Work Can Generate Multiple Claims and Additional Defendants

Workplace injuries generate expensive bills for medical care, physical and occupational therapy and rehabilitation. Injured employees also suffer lost wages, periods of disability and, in some cases, permanent or long term lost earning capacity.

Workers’ compensation usually pays for medical bills and lost earnings, but the workers’ comp system will not provide a recovery for pain and suffering embarrassment, humiliation and loss of life’s pleasures. A separate claim for personal injury can provide a worker with the missing compensation he or she needs to be made whole after an injury.

Aversa & Linn handles both workers’ compensation claims (when you are hurt while working for your employer) and personal injury cases (when you are hurt on the job because of the negligence of an individual or company that is not your employer).

Our workplace accident cases can also involve premises liability and products liability claims.

When you get hurt at work your employer may not be the only one responsible for your injury. We will fight for you to hold everyone accountable.
