San Diego Industrial Accident Lawyers
Although workers' compensation benefits are intended to serve as the primary source of financial recovery for people injured at work, the workers' comp system generally prohibits an employee from suing the employer for negligence resulting in a severe accident. At The McClellan Law Firm, our experience with the investigation and presentation of complex injury and wrongful death claims against the manufacturers of dangerous and defective products of all kinds gives injured workers an alternative approach to accident compensation that covers a much broader range of damages, including compensation for pain and suffering.
Contact a personal injury lawyer at our San Diego office for dependable advice about your compensation options in the aftermath of an industrial accident or other serious workplace injury. In many cases, we will be able to identify a defendant who can be held liable for your lost income, future treatment expenses, and pain and suffering, even while your workers' compensation benefits application is pending or being paid.
With a carefully limited caseload that allows us to work closely and intensively with our clients and a team of forensic professionals from many disciplines, we can investigate and present a claim for very significant damages in such industrial, construction, or other workplace accident claims in such situations as the following:
- Industrial machinery accidents involving punch presses, food service equipment, power saws, shredders, or mixers
- Electrical accidents involving unmarked or exposed high-voltage power boxes
- Forklift injuries or other accidents suffered in warehouses, loading docks, or freight terminals
- Toxic chemical exposure injuries at refineries or factories
- Falls from heights or stairwells in poorly maintained industrial or commercial buildings
- Burn injuries suffered in industrial explosions
- Construction site injuries
- Motor vehicle accidents suffered on the job by truck drivers or other commercial drivers
Our lawyers have achieved verdicts and settlements worth in excess of $1 million each in more than 85 cases. This record indicates our ability to make an effective presentation of the facts indicating both the defendant's liability and the extent of your damages. Our past success also enables us to commit the forensic resources necessary to develop your claims to maximum effect at our own risk. In other words, just like our attorney's fees, we only recover the expenses we've advanced when we settle or win your case.
