Lawyers Dedicated to Protecting Clients Injured in Workplace Accidents

Obtaining Compensation Since 1961

Employers are responsible for maintaining safe working environments. If you were injured while at work, your employer is obligated to provide you with workers' compensation to cover your various medical needs. In addition, if your injury was caused by the negligent actions of a third party or a dangerous or defective product, you may have a third party liability claim.

At Irom, Wittels, Freund, Berne & Serra, P.C., we have deep personal injury roots. In fact, we have protected the rights and best interests of accident victims for more than 48 years. We attribute much of our success in this area to our unwavering commitment to our clients and our dedication to building strong cases.

Workplace accidents can prove to be complex legal matters. In addition to any workers' compensation issues, an injured worker may also have a personal injury claim against a negligent third party. We have successfully represented accident victims for more than four decades, and are ready to help you. Contact us today to schedule a free initial consultation.

Strong Background Establishing Fault

Our attorneys work closely with accident scene reconstructionists and private investigators to determine the exact cause of a workplace accident. They also carefully review witness statements and safety reports to determine if a third-party — such as a manufacturer or negligent driver — was at-fault.

For example, our firm represented a client who was seriously injured at his place of employment after slipping on recently waxed floors. After reviewing the maintenance reports, we determined the floors were waxed by a third party vendor. Accordingly, we pursued legal action against the negligent vendor. The damages we recovered on behalf of our client combined with the workers' compensation benefits enabled him to cover all of his medical expenses and put the physical, emotional and financial trauma of the incident behind him.

Dedicated Legal Advocacy

Our goal is to obtain as much compensation as possible cover to hospital bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and future medical bills. We work closely with medical experts and life care planners to determine the full extent of an accident victim's injuries. Common workplace accident injuries include:

• Neck injuries
• Broken bones
• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries

At Irom, Wittels, Freund, Berne & Serra, P.C., we define our success based on the amount of compensation we obtain for accident victims.

Don't worry about our fee. We represent our clients on a contingency basis. This means we receive a percentage of what we recover for you. If there is no recovery, you pay us no fee for our services.
