If you are hurt while on the job, you should contact a lawyer to determine if the circumstances of your accident may be compensable.

Jacobs & Jacobs attorneys have represented many workplace injury victims throughout Connecticut. We know worksite safety regulations and theories of liability. We will find the responsible parties and help explain, either to an insurance company, or to a judge and jury, why you require full compensation for your injuries.

After a workplace injury, a detailed investigation into the circumstances of the accident is a first step toward helping the injury victim obtain the compensation that he or she needs.

Examples of situations leading to workplace injuries include:

• Unsecure and unsafe scaffolding
• Machines that lack guards to protect hands and fingers
• Forklifts that run over workers in the vicinity
• Falling debris
• Falls from high places
• Plywood ramps and planks improperly used as walkways
• Car accidents on the job
• Unsafe machinery

It is equally important to document and review the injury itself. This will involve close communication with doctors, review of medical records, observations, and interviews.

Workplace injuries can be catastrophic, such as the ones below:

• Amputation
• Burn injuries
• Brain injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Broken bones
• Loss of sight
• Loss of hearing
• Fatality on the job
