Personal Injuries - The Cost of Negligence

The McGougan Law Firm represents people injured in the following kinds of accidents:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Bicycle / pedestrian accidents
• Construction accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Products liability
• Premises liability

Workplace Injuries ◦ Construction Site Accidents ◦ Bus Driver Injuries ◦ Injured Teachers and Office Workers

An injury that takes place at work may fall under the umbrella of workers' compensation. In some cases, both a workers' compensation claim and a third-party liability claim or lawsuit will be applicable. For example, an injured construction worker may have a product liability claim against an equipment manufacturer in addition to a workers' compensation case.

Workers' compensation insurance carriers often work to find ways to deny or limit legitimate claims. An injured person who is represented by an attorney from the beginning is best able to meet the insurance company's lawyers and claims adjusters on a level playing field.

A prompt evaluation of the circumstances of an injury - on the job or not - by an experienced workers' compensation lawyer is an important first step toward protecting the rights of the victim and affected family members.
