My boyfriend recently got injured while at work, what are his options?
Question Details:
He was involved in a explosion after hitting a gas line while drilling on a job site. The company he works for failed to mark any USA lines/gas lines whatsoever. Because of their negligence, he is now suffering from some pretty bad 1st degree burns on his hands and face.
He most likely has a workers compensation case, and may have a separate personal injury case against other parties besides his employer if they are responsible as well. You should have your boyfriend call me asap for a free consultation at 800-816-1529 x. 1 or you may check out my website at http://www.thepersonalinjury.com .

If your bf was injured within the scope of his employment he is entitled to worker's compensation. Worker's comp is governed by a statute and permits employees to receive compensation for their injuries. Worker's comp is a no-fault system, which means that the employee does not have to prove fault as long as he was not acting recklessly or doing something on purpose to get hurt. Your bf needs to speak to the human resources person or manager to file a claim. Then he needs to hire a lawyer (who can help him file a claim if the people at his work are not helpful). A lawyer that specializes in this field will fight for him to be compensated under the statute for his injuries. You should note however, that there is no pain and suffering damages award in worker's comp cases. To re-cap, your bf has a claim and needs to take action, including seeing the right doctors.

Are you a lawyer?
