Dallas Work Injuries Caused By Lifting
Have You Hurt Yourself in a Job Site Lift Injury? You May Be Owed Compensation
Work injuries caused by heavy lifting happen every day. If you've been injured while doing heavy lifting on at work, make sure know all the facts before you attempt to file a personal injury suit.
Filing a claim against your company will be more difficult than it sounds. Companies deliberately operate in such a way that makes bringing a personal injury suit against them very difficult.
Many companies hire contractors. One of the reasons for this is to get around workers' compensation insurance. Workers' compensation protects employers from personal injury lawsuits brought by their employees by providing financial coverage for employees that are injured on the job (with some limits and conditions). If, on the other hand, the employer is a non-subscriber (someone who does not pay for workers' compensation insurance), then an injured employee can bring a personal injury suit for whatever amounts he or she can manage.
So why would a company choose not to purchase workers' compensation insurance? It all comes down to saving a few dollars. Contractors do not have the same eligibility as employees when it comes to bringing personal injury suits against their employer. To that extent, many construction companies think they can avoid lawsuits and still not pay for workers' compensation insurance by mostly hiring contractors.
Unfortunately, this devious defense strategy is often successful. Winning a personal injury case as a contractor is difficult. Many law firms will simply turn your case away when they hear that you are a contractor.
