No Fee Unless You Win
The workplace is one of the most dangerous places to be. According to government statistics, thousands of people suffered a serious injury at a Florida jobsite, and over 200 died. These workers are in so much pain that many of them miss weeks and possibly months of work—putting financial stress on their families.

We hear from many men and women who express frustration at the slow pace of their workers’ compensation claims and wonder if they are entitled to additional compensation.

Many workers ask whether they can sue their employer for their injuries. For example, your employer might have been lax about enforcing safety regulations, which is the direct cause of your injuries. Can you sue them for this negligence?

However, you might have a third-party claim if you were injured by a customer or a defective product. In these situations, you bring a claim against the other entity for all your losses, including pain and suffering. At Hersh Kirtman, we review every case to determine whether our clients can maintain this type of third-party claim against a non-employer.
