Work-Related Accidents
Wilmington, Delaware, Work-Related Accident Lawyers
If you have been injured in a work-related accident in Delaware, you may be aware that workers' compensation benefits are available to pay medical expenses, replace a portion of your wages, and compensate you for permanent disability. However, workers' compensation benefits may not compensate you all damages you have suffered.
At the law firm of Murphy & Landon in Wilmington, Delaware, our lawyers know how to analyze work-related accident cases. While Delaware workers' compensation law generally protects employers from personal injury lawsuits in work-related accidents, that protection does not extend to third parties such as contractors and equipment manufacturers. If your workplace injury was caused by someone other than your employer, you may have a right to file a personal injury claim against that third party.
Our lawyers are known for obtaining exceptional recoveries in personal injury cases, among them a $4.9 million recovery in Trujillo v. Lee, a construction accident case. Our lawyers handle the full range of workplace injury cases, including:
- Car accidents occurring while you are on the job
- Construction accidents involving heavy machinery such as forklifts, cranes, trucks and earth-moving equipment
- Industrial accidents involving chemical spills or exposures
- Back and neck injuries
- Accidents involving extreme employer negligence
