Assisting Steelworkers With Workers’ Compensation Questions

Steelworkers have very dangerous jobs, as they climb to great heights, deal with very hot steel, work in hot environments with machinery and much more. When an accident occurs, the injuries are usually very serious. Sometimes, these accidents result in the death of the worker, leaving the family with the unexpected death and an even more unpredictable future.

If you are a steelworker who has been injured on the job, you may be able to file a workers’ compensation claim so you can receive wage replacement, medical benefits and job training so you can work in another field if you need to after your recovery. With the help of a St. Paul workers’ comp attorney at the Law Office Of Joshua Borken, you have a better chance of receiving those benefits, even if you have already been denied.

Support For Injured Steel Workers

When working with an attorney to help obtain workers’ compensation benefits, you receive legal support and the moral and emotional support that you deserve. Joshua Borken understands that you are going through a difficult time. Whether you are the injured or you are the family member of a worker killed in an accident, you receive the validation you need.

The following are the most common types of accidents that result in steelworker injury or death:

  • Falls – Falling is a common type of accident that steelworkers experience because they tend to perform some tasks high above the ground. Because steelworkers work year-round, outdoor surfaces can become slick. One wrong step and the worker can fall.
  • Cuts – There is a lot of metal and machinery around. Metal shears are a common tool used on the job, and they are very sharp, as they are designed to cut steel. Steelworkers have lost limbs or experienced serious cuts that require quick medical intervention.
  • Burns – Steelworkers work in very hot conditions, as there are blast furnaces that operate. Workers may also have to weld, providing another opportunity to experience a burn.
  • Muscle strain – There is a lot of lifting on the job. This can result in muscle strain in the back, arms and legs.

You Can Win Your Workers’ Comp Claim

If any accident occurred while on the job, resulting in serious injury or death, the injured or the family of the deceased worker should be able to make a workers’ comp claim. Even if you have doubts about winning your claim, your St. Paul workers’ comp attorney can evaluate your case and make a determination for you. That information can then be used to advise you on how you can move forward.
