Were You Injured at Work?
Our Experienced Work Injury Lawyers Can Help You Seek Justice and Compensation.
Workplace injuries can disrupt your life, leaving you with medical bills, lost wages, and lasting physical or emotional challenges. While workers’ compensation is designed to provide benefits for injured employees, it may not always cover the full extent of your damages, especially if negligence or unsafe working conditions contributed to your injury.
At Yagoubzadeh Law Firm LLP, we are dedicated to helping injured workers understand their rights and pursue the compensation they deserve. Whether through a workers’ compensation claim, a personal injury lawsuit, or both, our experienced attorneys will fight to protect your interests and hold negligent parties accountable.

Common Causes of Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries can occur in any industry, but they often result from negligence, unsafe conditions, or inadequate safety protocols. Common causes include:
- Slips, Trips, and Falls: Wet floors, uneven surfaces, or lack of safety equipment.
- Falling Objects: Tools, materials, or equipment striking workers.
- Machinery Accidents: Defective or improperly maintained equipment causing harm.
- Repetitive Motion Injuries: Strains or damage from repeated tasks.
- Exposure to Hazardous Substances: Chemical burns, respiratory issues, or toxic exposure.
- Transportation Accidents: Vehicle crashes involving company cars or delivery trucks.
If your injury resulted from employer negligence, a third party’s actions, or unsafe conditions, you may be entitled to compensation beyond workers’ comp benefits.
Common Workplace Injuries

Can You Sue for a Workplace Injury?
While workers’ compensation laws typically prevent employees from suing their employer, there are exceptions, including:
- Third-Party Liability: If another company or individual caused your injury, such as a contractor or equipment manufacturer.
- Intentional Misconduct: If your employer’s deliberate actions led to your injury.
- Defective Products: If a malfunctioning tool, machine, or product caused the accident.
At Yagoubzadeh Law Firm LLP, we will evaluate your case to determine if additional legal action is available to maximize your compensation.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Depending on the circumstances of your injury, you may be entitled to recover:
- Medical Expenses: Coverage for surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatments.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed at work and reduced earning capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical pain, emotional trauma, and distress.
- Disability Benefits: Support for permanent or temporary disabilities affecting your ability to work.
