At Copeland & Bieger, P.C., we have more than 30 years of experience litigating and mediating injury-related cases in both state and federal courts in Virginia and Tennessee.
Our workplace injury attorney, Daniel R. Bieger, has tried more than 100 cases before juries.
On-the-job injuries can occur in a myriad of ways. For instance, one of our clients suffered a catastrophic back injury while moving an office throw rug. Nevertheless, a large percentage of work-related injury cases tend to involve:
- Coal field accidents and illnesses: From back and shoulder injuries caused by underground mining equipment to black lung disease (coal worker's pneumoconiosis)
- Construction accidents: Head, neck and spine injuries from falling objects, collapsing scaffolds, electrical shocks and other construction site dangers.
- Factory and warehouse accidents: From forklift rollovers and factory explosions to chemical burns and limbs crushed by machinery
- Repetitive stress injuries: Injuries from overuse, ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome to complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSD)
Third-Party Liability in Workplace Accidents
Sometimes a job site injury is caused by the negligence of a third party. For instance, while driving a company vehicle on business, you may have been struck by a drunk driver. Or perhaps the machinery that injured you had manufacturing defects or was poorly designed.
In such cases, you may have a personal injury claim in addition to a worker's compensation claim. Our Virginia workplace accident attorneys can investigate your case, determine liability and help you pursue the benefits you deserve.
