Indianapolis Workplace Accident Attorneys
FIGHTING FOR YOU WHEN THE STAKES ARE HIGHEST
In the state of Indiana, 4 out of every 100 workers are injured or killed each year on the job. Within Indianapolis, hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers go to physically demanding jobs and jobs that have potentially dangerous and harmful conditions, especially if safety measures are not followed.
Workplace injuries often occur when working conditions are not regularly monitored for safety and compliance per standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that are put in place to prevent injuries. When this happens, injured employees may be entitled to receive workers’ compensation, or work comp benefits. In certain cases, however, workers’ compensation may not be enough to cover the cost of damages. Additionally, if an employer is not liable for the accident, workers’ comp will not cover your injuries.
In such cases, you may be able to file a third-party workplace accident claim. This may be the case if your accident and resulting injuries were caused by someone other than your employer, such as a coworker, car or truck driver, manufacturer, or another party.

What Is a Workplace Accident?
A workplace accident is any accident that occurs while a worker is carrying out duties within the scope of his or her employment. Despite the name, a workplace accident does not necessarily have to occur at your physical place of work in order for you to be eligible to file a claim. For example, if you are a delivery truck driver and you are hit by another motorist and injured while delivering goods for your employer, you may be able to file a third-party claim against the negligent driver. Or, if you are an office worker and you fall and break your wrist when a defective office chair collapses, you may be able to bring a claim against the manufacturer of the chair.
Our firm can help you evaluate your situation in order to determine if you have a claim. If so, our workplace accident attorneys in Indianapolis can help you fight for the full, fair compensation you are owed for your medical bills, lost income, and other losses.
