Re: do i have case
You may have a civil case against the warehouse and a worker's compensation claim for your injuries on the job. Both may be maintained simultaneously. the civil suit allows for pain and suffering,therefore, you should pursue both. The worker's compensation system is very adversial. The insurance companies will get away with anything they can. They will pay you the minimum on your claim unless you obtain representation to protect your interests. The worker's compensation insurance companies have attorneys, why don't you? Attorney fees are limited by law to 9% to 12% of the final settlement or award. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.
