Indianapolis Work Injury Attorney For Catastrophic Accidents

Some jobsite accidents are so severe they permanently alter a worker’s life, preventing the worker from ever returning to work. Some may even result in death. Most catastrophic injuries occur at the time of the accident, but some may occur over time. There is a statute of limitations that applies to catastrophic injuries that occur in the workplace, so an experienced injury attorney is paramount to securing benefits for the injured worker.

A catastrophic workplace accident like an amputation could mean the end of an employee’s career. These types of injuries involve the highest level of pain, cost, and impairment. Attorney Charles Carlock has a history of fighting for clients who may be permanently or totally disabled from a catastrophic work injury -  he's worked solely as an Indiana workers comp and injury lawyer since 1993. Hire the workers’ compensation lawyer who aggressively defends workers’ rights for proper compensation, including permanent total disability benefits (PTD).

Catastrophic Workplace Injury Examples:

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Amputation of finger, hand, foot, arm, or leg
  • Paraplegia
  • Quadriplegia
  • Damage to internal organs
  • Crush injuries
  • Exposure to hazardous materials
  • 2nd & 3rd degree burns
  • Blindness or institutional blindness
  • Fall injuries
  • Explosion injuries
  • Electrocution injuries

Catastrophic accidents forever change the course of an employee's life. At times even resulting in loss of life. Indiana law requires employers to provide a variety of benefits to an employee who is injured or killed while on the job. Workers’ compensation benefits include payment of medical bills, lost wage checks, monetary payments for the employee’s permanent physical damage, and death benefits for family members. Additional reimbursement for out-of-pocket prescription costs, mileage expenses, and future coverage for lost work and medical needs are often also appropriate.
