An injury arising from the environment provided to you by your employer may be due to an unsafe working condition. This can come about through the use of defective or outmodeled equipment or unsafe conditions. In the event the accident was caused by a piece of defective equipment, you may have what is known as a product liability case, which may involve the manufacturer, seller, distributor or maintenance company. Such a case would be in addition to your regular workers' compensation case and normally would result in a larger award. Our office carefully reviews the facts of each workers' compensation case to determine whether such third-party claims may be involved. Our associates are prepared to take your case to court to be tried by a jury if necessary.
