Have you or a loved one been hurt on the Job?

Thousands of employees are injured at work every year and many work accidents result in serious injuries and death. If you were injured at work then you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Depending upon the circumstances of the injury, you may be eligible to receive compensation through either the workers’ compensation system, or a personal injury lawsuit, or both.

Your employer is responsible for taking all reasonable measures to secure your safety on the job.

Not all injuries are physical. If you have suffered physically, emotionally or financially, you may be entitled to financial compensation for these losses. In fatal cases, families may also be entitled to compensation.
