On the Job Injury Lawyer

Contact Attorney Brunelle for sound legal advice regarding any injury sustained at your place of work

The state places limits on Workers' Compensation claims and, unfortunately, they do not fully replace lost wages, pay medical bills or provide adequate compensation for pain and suffering when you are unable to work.  Attorney Brunelle can assist you and your family to recover compensation beyond Workers' Comp after a serious job accident.

• Construction and Heavy Industry Accidents
• Falls, Burns, Electrocution
• Scaffolding, Lift, Elevator Failures
• Heavy Equipment
• Toxic Exposure
• Repetitive Stress Injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Improper Training, Warning, Labeling, Misrepresentation
• Tools, Vehicles, Safety Equipment

Maine employees are protected under Workers' Compensation guidelines that provide for compensation after a job accident, and negligence need not be proven.  All employers are required by law to maintain a safe work environment, including proper training and safety equipment.  When an accident occurs, you do not sue your employer.  Instead, a Workers' Comp claim is typically your sole recourse for compensation.

Third-Party Claims and Defective Product Liability

An injury on the job can often be caused or made worse by defective design, manufacture, or maintenance of vehicles, tools and equipment.  Attorney Brunelle will thoroughly investigate your accident to identify all liable parties, including contractors and manufacturers, to maximize your compensation even above your Workers' Compensation claim.  This is obviously a very confusing and complicated area of the law that will require the constant guidance of an experienced legal professional.  Attorney Brunelle can sort through the confusion to determine the best course to a maximum recovery.
