Contrary to popular opinion, painting is not one of the safest jobs on account of the many hazards present at a site such as dangerous equipment, defective ladders, having to paint high rise buildings and so on. Painters usually work under a main company, and because of this as well as union labor rights, they are promised workers’ compensation should they get injured. However, what most painters don’t realize is the fact that the compensation you would get if you filed a claim with your union after an injury won’t even begin to cover things like the cost of medical treatment, let alone long-term rehabilitation. To this end, if you’re a painter that got injured on the job, you want to make sure to reach out to an attorney who has extensive experience representing people just like you because it’s only in filing a claim that you’ll be able to recover substantial compensation in the form of money damages, and we’re here to help with that.
