High-Risk Occupations - Worker's Comp Insurance Settlements

Though professionals in any line of work can sustain injuries on the job, certain occupations are undeniably riskier than others. For workers in high-risk fields, workers' comp (or as it used to be called - "workman's comp") insurance takes on new importance. Compensation awards and settlements achieved by our Columbus, Ohio-based legal team can mean the difference between prompt compensation for workplace injuries and costly delays that affect a victim's health and family.

Construction Accidents

As workplace injury statistics show, construction accidents are the most common serious workplace accidents in the United States. Though construction sites have strict safety regulations, all it takes for a serious injury to occur is a moment of carelessness on the part of another worker or a supervisor. Falls from scaffolding, head and spine injuries from falling objects, exposure to asbestos and other toxic substances, and injuries from power tools are all too common on construction sites nationwide. Any such injuries may justify worker's comp insurance awards to cover health care, lost wages, disability, and other costs. Because many construction accidents do result in serious injury or permanent disability, workers' comp insurance is particularly relevant. We have a history of achieving successful awards for Columbus, Ohio-area construction workers who have sustained injuries in on-the-job accidents.

Manufacturing and Other Risky Professions

Manufacturing is another high-risk profession. Factory workers face heavy equipment, dangerous substances, and other occupational hazards every day they work. As a result, many suffer from permanent disabilities, illnesses, and other health problems. Workers' comp insurance is intended to cover losses and expenses resulting from on-the-job accidents so that workers can provide for their families while recovering from their injuries.

Other high-risk professions include:

• Law enforcement
• Emergency response
• Health and education services
• Mining and drilling
• Foundry work
• Laboratory work
• Warehouses and shipping
• Demolitions
