If you’ve been hurt at work because of someone else’s negligence, it’s important to act quickly if you want to demand compensation. Our Yakima work injury lawyers are standing by to help you explore your legal options, prepare a strong case, and seek the compensation you need to recover.

Let’s get started. Call (509) 978-6287 to schedule a free consultation.

When You Would File an Injury Claim After a Workplace Accident

While workers’ compensation is designed to provide benefits for many on-the-job injuries, it isn’t always the only option. In some cases, injured workers may be eligible to file a personal injury claim instead, such as when the injury was caused by someone other than the injured worker’s employer. In other cases, a worker might not have workers’ comp, so an injury claim becomes the only option.

Examples of situations where a work injury claim may be appropriate include:

Third-party liability: If a contractor, vendor, or another third party caused your injury, they can sometimes be held responsible through a personal injury claim.
No workers’ compensation: If you do not have workers' compensation and you were hurt at work in a way that wasn’t your fault, then you might be able to file an injury claim, even if that means filing against your employer.

Types of Compensation in a Work Injury Claim

Through a personal injury claim, you may be able to seek compensation for a range of damages, including:

Medical costs: Coverage for hospital bills, surgeries, physical therapy, prescriptions, and ongoing treatment needs.
Lost wages: Compensation for time missed from work and the impact on future earning potential if you cannot return to the same job or career.
Pain and suffering: Damages for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injuries.
Disability or disfigurement: Compensation for permanent injuries that affect your quality of life.

How We Can Help From Start to Finish

Filing a work injury claim against a negligent party can be a complicated process, but Carpenter & Zuckerman and our Yakima work injury lawyers are with you every step of the way. Our team provides comprehensive support to ease your burden and help prepare a strong case for compensation.

Let us take care of every step of your work injury claim, including but not limited to:

Investigating the accident: We gather evidence to demonstrate what caused the accident and who is responsible, such as workplace incident reports, witness accounts, photos, and expert investigations.
Preparing a strong case: Our attorneys identify every potentially liable party, from third-party contractors to manufacturers of defective equipment. We may work with industry experts to evaluate the circumstances surrounding your injury.
Fighting for maximum compensation: We handle all communication with insurance companies, protecting your rights and attempting to negotiate a fair settlement. If a fair settlement isn’t possible, we aren’t afraid to take your case to court to seek justice.

We accept work injury claims on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won’t pay anything unless we win your case. We hope this payment system encourages you to explore your legal options.
