Workplace Injuries

Boston Work Injury Attorney

Work-related accidents can render a person seriously injured or disabled-leaving him or her temporarily or permanently incapable of returning to work. When a person has suffered a serious workplace injury, having an experienced lawyer is critical to fully protect the injured worker's rights.

Contact Kenneth Martin Knee, to discuss your work injury and your rights. I offer free initial consultations and case evaluations.

Work Accidents and Serious Work-Related Injuries

Accidents can occur in any context in any workplace. Frequent workplace injuries that my law firm handles include construction accidents, slip and fall accidents, and lifting accidents. A crane accident or scaffolding accident could lead to a spinal cord injury. Debris on the floor or exposed electrical cords could lead to slip and fall injuries. Repetitive typing in an unsuitable office area could lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. Repetitive lifting could lead to a back injury, chronic back pain, or another repetitive strain injury (RSI).

As a personal injury attorney with over 25 years of experience, we see these complex work injuries and know how to ensure that our clients' injuries are fully documented. Complete documentation is a valuable aspect of your case to help you recover full compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, or other damages related to your work injury, and determine the victim's rights under the law. We will put the team together to work on your behalf.

Who Is Liable?

Cases involving work-related accidents can be complex, as there are often multiple sources of liability. While most injured workers are eligible for workers' compensation benefits, in certain cases, workers' compensation is just one part. In cases involving a catastrophic injury, such as a traumatic brain injury (TBI), it will be critically important to examine other sources of liability to ensure that the injured individual has the resources necessary to get the help he or she will need throughout the rest of his or her life, what we call third-party liability.

We thoroughly investigate a workplace accident by interviewing witnesses as needed, and even reconstructing the accident scene. We determine if there is a potential third-party liability claim against other responsible parties, such as the manufacturer of a defective product, or general contractor on a construction site.
