WORKPLACE INJURIES

Serving Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Edmond, Midwest City and Norman, Oklahoma

There are as many ways to injure yourself at work as there are jobs themselves, especially in some of the dangerous occupations that drive Oklahoma, like those in the energy, construction and transportation industries.

Regardless of your profession, if you've suffered an on-the-job injury you need an experienced Oklahoma workers' compensation attorney like James Self to help you get the benefits you need. During his 30-plus years of experience looking out for injured workers, Mr. Self has represented people with a wide range of workplace injuries.

Following are examples of a few on-the-job injuries that may qualify an employee for workers' compensation:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Burns
• Car accident injuries
• Hazardous chemical exposure
• Head and brain injuries
• Hearing impairment
• Respiratory problems
• Spinal cord injuries
• Truck accident injuries

Your injury could be caused by a single trauma, such as an object falling on you, or the result of repetitive motion, such as carpal-tunnel syndrome from continuous typing. Workers' compensation covers all types of injuries as long as the injury occurred during the course of your job and you are prevented from working for more than three calendar days.

Depending on the circumstances of your injury, you may be entitled for financial restitution beyond workers' compensation benefits. If your on-the-job injury involved a negligent third party, such as in a vehicle accident, or entailed the use of a defective product, such as a faulty workplace machine, Oklahoma personal injury lawyer James Self and the accomplished team at Self & Associates can help you take separate action against those responsible.
