Legal Support for Injured Workers in Everett
When a job-related injury happens, the road to recovery isn’t just physical—it’s legal and financial too. Medical bills, lost wages, and uncertainty about your future can quickly become overwhelming. At Park Chenaur Injury Lawyers, we help injured workers in Everett understand their rights, file claims properly, and pursue every available form of compensation.
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Workplace Injury?
Depending on how the accident occurred, there may be more than one responsible party. We conduct a thorough investigation to identify all liable parties, which may include:
- Your employer (in limited cases, outside of workers’ comp)
- General contractors or subcontractors
- Equipment or machinery manufacturers
- Property owners or site operators
- Third-party maintenance crews or vendors
If your injury involved faulty equipment or occurred due to someone outside your employer’s organization, you may have the right to file a personal injury claim in addition to a workers’ compensation claim.
Two Paths to Compensation After a Workplace Injury
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to one or both of the following:
Workers’ Compensation Claim
Washington’s workers’ comp system covers most job-related injuries and does not require proving fault. Benefits typically include:
- Medical expenses
- Partial wage replacement
- Disability benefits (temporary or permanent)
- Vocational rehabilitation services
However, workers’ comp does not cover pain and suffering or full lost income, and the process can be complex. We help ensure you file correctly, appeal denials, and receive the benefits you're owed.
Personal Injury Claim
If your injury was caused by someone other than your employer—such as a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner—you may pursue a personal injury claim for additional damages, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Full lost wages
- Loss of future earning potential
- Long-term medical care or home modifications
Our workplace accident attorneys in Everett is experienced in identifying third-party liability and handling both claim types concurrently when appropriate.
