These are the most common injuries, often resulting from a lack of proper lifting equipment, inadequate training, or being forced to move a patient alone. A lifting injury lawyer can help determine if employer negligence contributed to your injury and pursue full compensation beyond standard workers' comp.
When a caregiver is injured by a hazard in a private residence, it can create a complex third-party liability claim against the homeowner's insurance policy. These claims can cover damages that workers' compensation does not. Because the property owner has a duty to provide a safe environment, a slip and fall attorney can help prove negligence.
Unlike a single accident, RSIs develop over time from repeated motions like lifting, bending, and assisting patients. These cumulative trauma injuries can be difficult to prove. An experienced attorney can help link your RSI directly to your job duties, ensuring you receive benefits for medical treatment and lost wages.
Caregivers are often placed in situations with patients who have dementia, cognitive impairments, or behavioral issues. If an employer fails to provide adequate training, sufficient staffing, or information about a patient's known violent tendencies, they may be held liable when an assault occurs. An attorney can investigate the circumstances to establish employer negligence.
Accidental sticks from needles or other medical sharps can expose caregivers to serious bloodborne pathogens. A sharps injury lawyer can help navigate the complex medical and legal follow-up, ensuring you receive immediate testing, preventative treatment, and compensation for long-term monitoring and emotional distress.
If you are involved in a car accident while driving a client, you may have multiple avenues for recovery, including a claim against the at-fault driver and a workers' compensation claim. A lawyer experienced in both areas can help coordinate your claims to maximize your total recovery.
