Charlotte, North Carolina Construction Burn Injury Lawyer
All too often, workers suffer serious injuries such as burns, crush injuries, and falls while working on a construction site. A workplace injury can have devastating consequences, resulting in enormous medical expenses and loss of your livelihood. Sometimes, workers are afraid to report an injury or accident for fear of retaliation by their employer; or they believe that, because they made a mistake on the job, they are not entitled to receive compensation for their injuries.
Our goal at Warren & Kallianos is to help workers understand their rights under the law and recover the compensation they deserve. This can include workers' compensation benefits and, potentially, a third-party claim against another company responsible for the work-related accident.

Questions to consider after a workplace accident include:
Did your boss tell you that there is no insurance to cover your injury? In most cases, your employer is obligated under the law to provide workers' compensation insurance to pay for your workplace injuries. If you are working for a subcontractor who does not have workers' compensation insurance, then the general contractor on the job should have insurance to cover your injuries.
Was your accident caused by another subcontractor? If your injuries were caused by another company or subcontractor, in addition to a workers' compensation claim, you may also have a third-party claim for negligence against the other company or subcontractor. This third-party claim may allow you to recover damages far and above those provided by workers' compensation. Contact Warren & Kallianos so that we may investigate the facts and circumstances of your accident and hold all at-fault parties responsible.
Were your injuries or burns caused by unsafe equipment or unsafe handling? Many workplace accidents are caused by defective or unsafe equipment. For example, a crane collapses, an air pressure tank explodes, or a caustic or combustible material is released or ignited.
If you are injured by a defective product or the unsafe handling of equipment or material, contact our Charlotte, North Carolina construction and burn accident attorneys for help in recovering the compensation you deserve.
