Workplace Injuries

Workplace Injury Lawyers & Workers' Compensation Legal Services in Edmonton, Alberta

Workplace injuries, especially those sustained in industrial settings, can have significant physical, emotional, and financial impacts. In Alberta, workers injured on the job are often eligible for compensation through the Workers' Compensation Board (WCB). However, filing a claim and obtaining full benefits can be complex, and some cases may involve disputes over liability or benefits. At Cambria LLP, our experienced workplace injury lawyers provide comprehensive legal support for individuals injured at work, guiding them through workers' compensation claims and pursuing additional legal remedies where applicable.

Workplace Injuries and Workers' Compensation Claims

When a workplace injury occurs, employees in Alberta may be eligible for workers' compensation benefits, covering medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. Although the Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) provides these benefits, navigating the claims process can be challenging, especially if there are delays, denials, or disputes regarding the extent of the injury or eligibility. At Cambria LLP, we help injured workers pursue fair compensation and advocate for their rights within the WCB system.

Types of Workplace Injuries

• Physical Injuries. Broken bones, fractures, lacerations, and burns sustained from falls, heavy lifting, or equipment mishaps.
• Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs). Chronic conditions include carpal tunnel syndrome or tendinitis caused by repetitive tasks or prolonged strain.
• Occupational Illnesses. Illnesses or diseases resulting from exposure to harmful substances, such as respiratory illnesses or skin conditions.
• Psychological Injuries. Emotional distress, PTSD, or other mental health issues arising from a traumatic event or ongoing stress in the workplace.

Our Workers' Compensation Services Include

• Assistance with Filing Claims. We help clients gather documentation, complete WCB paperwork accurately, and file claims within the required deadlines.
• Appealing Denied Claims. If your claim has been denied or undervalued, our team will investigate and represent you in appeals to secure the benefits you deserve.
• Negotiation and Mediation with the WCB. We handle all communications with the WCB to resolve disputes and reach a fair outcome for your case.

Industrial Accidents

Industrial workplaces, such as construction sites, factories, and warehouses, pose a higher risk of accidents due to heavy machinery, hazardous materials, and other dangers. Industrial accidents can lead to severe injuries or fatalities, and workers in these environments are entitled to workers' compensation. In some cases, additional legal action may be necessary if third-party negligence contributed to the accident. Cambria LLP provides skilled representation for workers injured in industrial accidents, working to secure maximum compensation for all injury-related losses.

Common Causes of Industrial Accidents

• Heavy Machinery Accidents. Injuries caused by malfunctioning equipment, machinery mishandling, or inadequate safety protocols.
• Falls from Heights. Accidents occur from scaffolding, ladders, or platforms due to improper fall protection or unsafe working conditions.
• Exposure to Hazardous Substances. Respiratory illnesses, chemical burns, or other injuries due to exposure to toxic materials.
• Vehicle Accidents. Injuries resulting from forklift, truck, or other work-related vehicle collisions.
• Fire and Explosions. Burns, hearing loss, and other injuries from fires or explosions in high-risk industrial environments.

Our Industrial Accident Services Include

• Investigation of Accident Causes. We gather evidence, interview witnesses, and consult with safety experts to establish the root causes and responsible parties.
• Third-Party Liability Claims. If a third party, such as a contractor or equipment manufacturer, contributed to the accident, we pursue claims for additional compensation beyond workers' compensation.
• Representation in Settlement Negotiations and Litigation. Our team negotiates with all relevant parties to secure a fair settlement and provides assertive representation in court if litigation is necessary.

Types of Compensation Available for Workplace Injuries

Workers injured on the job may be eligible for various forms of compensation, depending on the nature of the injury, the level of disability, and whether a third party contributed to the accident. Cambria LLP assists clients in pursuing all available avenues for compensation, ensuring that no potential benefits are overlooked.

Types of Compensation Include

• WCB Benefits. Compensation for medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation, and disability resulting from the injury.
• Additional Compensation for Third-Party Liability. If a third party's negligence contributed to the injury, additional damages, such as pain and suffering or punitive damages, may be pursued through a separate legal claim.
• Permanent Impairment Benefits. Compensation for lasting disabilities that impact your ability to work and quality of life.
