Lincoln, Nebraska, Workplace Injury Lawyers
Construction workers, nurses, delivery drivers, office assistants—workplace injuries affect all types of employees. Nebraska Workers' Compensation pays some benefits, but not enough to truly compensate fully for lost wages, pain and suffering, and other costs related to accidents and occupational diseases.
If a member of your family has been seriously injured or killed in a workplace accident, there may be other sources of compensation available in addition to workers' comp. Attorneys at our Lincoln, Nebraska, firm, Keating, O'Gara, Nedved & Peter, P.C., L.L.O., assist our clients in recovering this additional compensation through 3rd-party claims. Examples include the following:
- A worker injured in a scaffolding fall on a construction site may have a claim against the manufacturer of the scaffolding.
- A delivery driver injured in a car crash may have claims against several auto insurance policies.
- A railroad worker injured because of an equipment defect will be covered under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA).
- A warehouse worker suffering a back injury due to failure of defective equipment may have a claim against the manufacturer or maintenance contractor.
Significant case: Our firm recently represented a construction worker crushed under a negligently designed wall. Our client not only was disfigured, but lost vision, taste, and smell as a result of the accident.
