What is my Everett Personal Injury Claim Worth?

admin — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 04:33:09 +0000

No one can tell you exactly what your case is worth without fully evaluating all the facts. In most cases, an evaluation cannot be performed until your medical condition has stabilized and you have reached maximum medical improvement. At that point in time, your claim may be ready to be evaluated. An investigation will be performed and your doctor or other experts will need to provide final reports. We shall need to obtain all medical records and relevant documents to determine how a pre-existing condition may or may not have been impacted by your injury.

Further research of the relevant points of law and consultations with experts to assess the strengths of your case, weaknesses and your case value may be required. If you would like our office to evaluate whether you have a case and the strengths of your case, please contact us. Email Rob at Rob@kornfeldlaw.com or call 1 (800) 282-4878 to schedule a free consultation or case evaluation over the telephone, by e-mail or in person at a convenient location for you, either at our main office, a satellite meeting location, in your home or at the hospital.

Everett, WA Paralysis Attorneys

admin — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 23:10:23 +0000

Paralysis is the loss of strength in a limb or muscle group, resulting in limited motion or mobility. Paralysis is the result of damage to nerve cells that run from the brain to the spinal cord to the muscles. The severity of the paralysis is dependent on the location of the injury.

The following are different forms of paralysis:

Paraplegia - legs are partially or completely paralyzed
Quadriplegia – both legs and arms are paralyzed
Monoplegia – one limb is paralyzed
Diplegia – The same region of the body on both sides is paralyzed
Hemiplegia – one side of the body is paralyzed

Automobile accidents, sports accidents, falls and medical malpractice are just a few of the causes of paralysis injuries. Paralysis may be a short or long term result of the injury. Should it be permanent, the cost to provide for the injured individual can be outrageous, including medical costs, physical and occupational therapy, other specialists, and loss of wages.

Personal Injury: Construction Injuries in Washington State

admin — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 01:16:46 +0000

In Washington, under the Washington Industrial Safety Act (WISHA), the general contractor on any work site has a nondelegable duty to enforce all safety regulations for all employees on site, not just the employees of the general contractor. This duty runs from all upper tier subcontractors to all lower tier subcontractors which the sub may hire on the job site. This nondelegable duty to enforce all safety regulations on all work sites applies not just to general contractors but to owners, developers and those with supervisory authority in the work place. All employers are obligated to provide a reasonably safe work place for its employees and those with whom it contracts with to furnish labor and materials for it.

Washington State Work Injury Law Firm

Often workers are injured on the job or at a construction site through no fault of their own.

Roofer recovers $965,000. There may be many trades on a construction site. One trade or even the general contractor may accidentally cause a worker from a different trade to be seriously injured.

If a worker is injured in the work place, he may file a worker’s compensation claim. An injured worker not only has a right to file a worker’s compensation, e.g. a Labor and Industries claim, but may also have a viable “third party claim” to recover damages against the contractor, subcontractor or any other independent trade which was negligent. This would be a claim against any negligent company or an employee of another company on a job site which caused the worker’s injury. The injured worker may file a third party claim against the employer of the negligent worker and arguably claim that the employer or its employee failed to enforce or follow certain WISHA or OSHA regulations.

A construction worker has been killed in a construction accident on Guemes Island.

A dispatcher with the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office tells KIRO 7 that there is one confirmed death. The deceased is an employee of the construction company involved in the accident.

According to the Anacortes Fire Department, which is assisting with the accident response, the accident happened at around 3:15 p.m. Saturday when an 1800 square foot house fell off of its foundation, crushing a construction worker to death.

An Anacortes Fire spokesperson tells KIRO 7′s Graham Johnson that six workers were lowering the house to comply with building codes when the house slipped. All of the workers made it out safely except for one man, who was killed as he was pinned and crushed by pieces of the house structure.

The victim is a 57-year-old man from Mount Vernon.
