Complexities of Industrial Accidents
In almost all large industrial accidents numerous corporations, companies and other organizations will be involved. Consequently, the litigation stemming from these accidents is extremely complex. Simply determining who is liable can be difficult. In addition, numerous government departments and regulations will often be involved. For example, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, state and local building codes and industry specific regulations will almost certainly be involved.
As a result of these complexities, experts witnesses must be retained. At the Law Office of Kevin C. Ferry, LLC, we routinely consult and retain leading experts for many cases we handle. Our willingness to work with leading experts, along with our experience, allows us to understand and navigate the complexities of these cases. This in turn allows us to reach the best outcome for you.
In addition, industrial accidents often cause injuries which do not manifest themselves immediately - from toxic substances that cause terminal illness to the gradual loss of hearing caused by explosions. These injuries only add to the already complex issues associated with industrial accidents and explosions. Protect yourself and your family by speaking with one of our injury attorneys.
Adding to this complexity is the fact that these accidents also involve the Connecticut Workers’ Compensation laws. The Workers’ Compensation benefits are not designed to replace everything lost as a result of a catastrophic injury. Our attorneys will help you navigate the Workers’ Compensation system and actively pursue viable claims that will truly compensate you for all of your losses.
Statute of Limitations & Notice Requirements
In essence, a statute of limitations sets a specific time frame in which a particular type of lawsuit can be brought. If you do not meet the deadline, then you will be barred from bring suit. To properly assess and determine the applicable statute of limitations and any notice requirements that may be associated with your claim, it is imperative that you contact an attorney.
