Workplace Injury Lawyers - Portland, Lewiston & Auburn, Maine

Suffered from an on-the-job injury? You may be entitled to more than you think!

Mainers injured at work are generally covered by workers compensation, but also in many cases can bring a separate claim against the person or company causing their injuries.

For example, when a police officer gets hit by a negligent driver he has a workers compensation claim against his employer-the town-and a separate case against the bad driver.

Hardy Wolf & Downing has helped hundreds of people hurt at work who have these separate claims. Examples of cases we have successfully won are auto accidents at work, injuries from slip and falls at work, accidents at work where an employee of a subcontractor on a job is hurt because of negligence of an employee of another subcontractor.

• If someone works in a mall and the owner of the mall does a poor maintenance job causing the employee to fall, he may have a claim against the mall owner.
• A machine worker who gets hurt because the machine was dangerously designed may have a claim against the machine manufacturer in addition to his comp claim against the shop owner.
• Someone traveling on business who gets hurt as a result of the negligent maintenance of her hotel or rental car may had a separate claim in addition to comp.

These examples of claims at work against two or more companies can result in large damage awards for our clients. Juries are sympathetic to people whose work puts them in harm's way.

Hardy Wolf & Downing has won several million dollars for this type of claim and are experienced and prepared to tackle new ones.

Because there are two claims and each party has rights this type of case should NEVER be attempted without an experienced personal injury trial lawyer on your side
