Industrial Plant Accident Questions
What types of compensation can I recover in an industrial plant accident lawsuit?
You may be entitled to damages for medical expenses, lost wages, future medical care, pain and suffering, and long-term disability. Talk to a lawyer to find out more about the damages you can recover.
What if my company is already investigating the accident?
Their investigation is to protect their own liability, not your interests. You need your own advocate to conduct a separate investigation in order to determine the true cause of the accident and who is liable for your damages.
I was working as a contractor. Do I still have rights?
Yes, contractors can bring a personal injury claim for workplace injuries. Contractors can sometimes have even stronger legal options than full-time employees. We represent contractors regularl
Construction Site Accident Questions
What’s the difference between a workers’ comp claim and a personal injury lawsuit?
Workers’ comp pays limited benefits and does not require proving fault. A personal injury lawsuit may offer more compensation, but it does requires showing negligence. We often pursue both.
Can I still file a claim if I wasn’t technically an employee?
Absolutely. Subcontractors are common in construction, and your legal rights don’t disappear based on job title. Even if you were paid off the books, you’re undocumented, or you were misclassified, you still have rights. Talk to an attorney about your options.
What if I was partly at fault?
You should still consult an attorney about filing a claim. Ohio follows comparative negligence rules, so even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation.
Farming Accident Questions
I was paid in cash. Can I still file a lawsuit?
Yes. Payment in cash doesn’t eliminate your right to recover damages in a personal injury case. We’ll help you document your work and build your claim.
What if I’m undocumented?
Your immigration status doesn’t prevent you from seeking compensation for an injury, either. We treat every client with dignity and strive to protect your rights, regardless of immigration status.
The equipment I was using was old and unsafe. Is that relevant?
Absolutely. Defective or poorly maintained equipment is a common cause of farm injuries, and a key element in many successful injury claims. Document everything you can about the faulty equipment, and then talk to a lawyer to find out your options.
Personal Injury Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Ohio?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This is known as the statute of limitations. However, there are exceptions—especially if a government entity is involved or if the injury wasn’t discovered right away. To protect your rights, it’s smart to talk to a Worthington personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
How much does it cost to hire Harris Law for a personal injury case?
We handle all injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay anything upfront. We only get paid if we recover money for you—either through a settlement or a verdict. If we don’t win, you don’t owe us anything.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault?
Yes, possibly. Ohio follows a comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages if you were less than 51% at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Contact Harris Law today to discuss the details of your specific case.
