The Law Offices of Smolich & Smolich has been handling career-ending work injuries, construction site accidents and other industrial injuries for over 40 years. These injuries often can result from errors in judgment, faulty equipment, falls from scaffolds, being struck by falling materials or machinery, defective or unreasonably unsafe equipment, chemical leaks or explosions, electrical accidents, and electrocution injuries.
The legal professionals at Smolich & Smolich have experience in workers’ compensation claims, as well as claims involving third-parties. When an employee sustains a work-related injury, recovery of workers' compensation benefits is the employee's exclusive remedy against the employer. However, when an employee is injured in the course and scope of employment as a result of a negligent third party (like another sub-contractor or product), the employee has the right to pursue a claim against the third party in addition to pursuing a workers' compensation claim.
Our expertise in construction site and industrial accidents has allowed us to represent many union members, including ironworkers, operations engineers, laborers, glaziers, cement finishers and other building trade workers, just to name a few. For many of our clients who face career-ending injuries, we are able to assist them in obtaining the disability retirement benefits they are entitled to from their unions.
