Greenville Personal Injury Lawyer 

South Carolina attorney secures compensation for workplace injuries

There were over 30,000 workplace injuries and illnesses reported in one recent year in South Carolina, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. A serious injury at work can leave you unable to support your family and pay your bills. At Mann Law Firm, P.A., in Greenville personal injury lawyer assists injured workers by effectively pursuing legal remedies, which include workers’ compensation and lawsuits against third parties that may be at fault. 

Personal injury from accidents at work

People injured on the job must first bring a South Carolina workers’ compensation claim to be reimbursed for medical bills and lost wages. You generally cannot sue your employer in court except in narrow circumstances. However, if you were hurt due to the negligent actions of an outside person or entity, you may be able to get additional compensation by filing a personal injury claim. Our attorney can help you understand if a third-party suit is possible in your situation. 

Serious construction injuries and how they happen

Construction accidents are unfortunately quite common because the work is inherently dangerous. The following types of accidents can result in serious or even catastrophic injuries:

• Explosions
• Building collapses
• Scaffolding accidents
• Defective equipment

Construction companies and their managers are responsible for the health and safety of workers. If unsafe conditions existed at your site and you were injured, our Greenville construction accident lawyer will advise you about your options for getting payment through a personal injury claim. 

Injury from truck accidents

Trucks transport supplies and deliver goods for many industries. If you were on the job driving a company truck to or from a site and were injured in a crash with another vehicle, you may be eligible to recover damages from the driver. If you were injured at your workplace by a truck operated by a contractor or someone else who was not an employee of your company, you may be able to get compensation from the contractor or other driver. Our firm can help you get the reimbursement you need to restore your finances while recuperating. 

Car accidents while working

If you were in a car crash while in the course of your employment, we can investigate and advise you of possible avenues to compensation. Our attorney will counsel you about your rights, whether you were a driver or passenger in a company vehicle, were using your own vehicle for work-related matters or were driving a taxi or a ride-share vehicle. Careless drivers can be sued for negligence. A vehicle’s owner can be sued for not conducting proper maintenance. Manufacturers of parts or components that fail due to defects can be sued for product liability. 

Slip and fall injury on the job

Slip and fall injuries are not unusual for people working in grocery stores, restaurants and other establishments where liquids may spill or floors are left wet due to mopping or tracked-in precipitation. Trip and fall accidents can occur in warehouses full of boxes and other clutter. Falls from heights can happen at construction sites where ladders and scaffolding are frequently used. Even office workers can trip and fall over boxes, extension cords and debris. If you were hurt in a fall in the workplace, our personal injury lawyer will advise you about your potential legal remedies.
