Common situations Schwartzapfel Lawyers handles

Injuries at work often involve more than one party and more than one form of compensation. These are the claims members most often ask about.

Workplace Injury Claims

Representation for injuries that happen on the job, including questions about workers’ compensation and what to do when a claim is denied or delayed.

Construction Accidents

Support for injured construction and trades workers, including claims involving site safety, equipment, falls and third-party contractors.

Motor Vehicle & Premises Accidents

Help for members injured in car accidents, falls on unsafe property, and other situations involving someone else’s negligence.

Third-Party Liability Claims

A workers’ compensation claim is not always the only route available. Guidance on when a claim against another party may also exist.

Wrongful Death & Family Claims

Compassionate guidance for families navigating the loss of a loved one to an accident, including what options exist and who decides what happens next.

Case Review & Representation

An honest assessment of what a claim may be worth, what the next step is, and what it will take before anyone commits to anything.
