Injuries to Truckers
When a truck driver suffers an injury, whether in an accident or due to other work-related causes, that driver's future is put in jeopardy. Many drivers have difficulty finding other work if an injury prevents him or her from driving any longer. If they do find work, chances are that the new job will not pay anywhere near the same wage as the trucking job did, resulting in significant wage loss.
Wage loss opens up different possibilities for pursuing additional compensation. Greensboro truck driver injury lawyer Jay Gervasi will explore those possibilities and help you understand what types of compensation are available to help make up for the loss.
Our firm represents drivers suffering from a variety of injuries, such as those caused by truck accidents, loading or unloading cargo, falls on uneven surfaces and other causes. The very nature of truck driving exposes the driver to possible negligence of third parties, such as other drivers. In truck accident cases, it may be possible to pursue a third-party personal injury claim in addition to workers' compensation.
If you are a trucker who has been told by your employer that you are really an independent contractor, and therefore not entitled to compensation, do not give up. Speak with us, because it is very likely that you are not an independent contractor.
Injuries to Nurses
Many people do not think of nursing when they think about occupations that could lead to injuries. However, nurses have a very physically demanding job where injuries occur with uncommon frequency. The injuries range from serious back and neck problems due to lifting, to the possibility of exposure to dangerous materials such as medical waste. We diligently pursue workers' compensation on behalf of injured nurses in North Carolina.
Nursing positions tend to pay high wages, which means a nurse who is injured and can no longer work as a nurse may lose significant wages. In these situations, additional workers' compensation benefits may be available.
Injuries to Factory Workers
Those who work in the manufacturing industry are exposed to a number of hazards, depending on the specific industry in which they work. Repetitive stress injuries are common, as are back injuries, burns, broken bones and loss of limbs. The law firm of Jay Gervasi, P.A., provides strong, skilled representation to North Carolina factory workers who need compensation for on-the-job injuries.
A disturbing number of factory workers are exposed to asbestos. This exposure can cause cancer and a number of other diseases. These claims are highly complex and the injuries are obviously serious. Our firm has the ability to handle these complex issues for our clients.
