Carpenters play a vital role in the economy.  These are individuals that are oftentimes seen in construction sites and in woodworking workshops making custom orders for things such as couches and beds, and they typically go to trade school for a number of years before graduating and full-fledged carpenters. The job of a carpenter is difficult and dangerous, and one has to have an eye for detail as well as ensure that their employer adheres to OSHA safety regulations due to the dangerous nature of the tools that they work with. Carpenter injuries can be particularly severe and catastrophic, and can range from nails going through hands, to having one’s finger cut off, or even getting electrocuted while working with a power tool. It is important to note that carpenter injuries don’t just happen out of the blue, and they cannot be chalked down to bad luck or a fluke – accidents almost always have a human component, and the negligence of one individual could have been what caused your injury as a carpenter. In such cases, it is important to retain the services of a personal injury attorney in order to recover money damages, and we’re here to help with that.

It is important that you let your supervisor know about your accident the minute it happens to enforce the legitimacy of your claim. In addition, you want to take lots of photos of the accident scene, or have someone else do it for you if you are severely injured, and make sure to go to the ER even if you feel fine. Do NOT sign any document before calling us, however, as doing so may make it impossible to file a claim. Need to speak with one of us?
