Do you have carpel tunnel or another office related injury in Houston, Texas?
The Law Offices of Michael Grossman in Houston can provide you relief.
An “office injury” usually involves carpel tunnel syndrome from repetitive motion such as typing. But other more serious injuries occur. Office and work related injuries can involve falling objects such as merchandise falling from shelving or defective rolling devices that are supposed to keep pallets of merchandise from causing injury.
Mesothelioma - dangerous for office workers as well
Office injuries can also include asbestos exposure. Many of the older office buildings around the country and specifically Texas used asbestos. Exposure to asbestos can lead to asbestosis that can lead to a rare form of cancer called mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is not as rare if the person has been exposed to asbestos fibers.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often times do not appear for many years after the exposure. The exposure leads to the microscopic fibers embedding in the lining of the lungs. The person will begin to feel shortness of breath and restricted breathing. Many times the doctor would misdiagnose the condition because the condition was extremely rare.
What can Grossman Law Offices do for my office injury?
The benefit of hiring Grossman Law Office carpel tunnel attorneys in these types of cases is that we can help with the initial determination of whether or not the employer had workers' compensation coverage or not. The answer to this question is critical to understand which legal path to take. Please see our pages on “workers compensation” and “non subscriber cases” for more detailed information with regard to this issue.
After making the workers compensation determination, we can assist in developing the case both from a liability and damages angle. We can help obtain witness statements, hire expert witnesses and use a private investigator to obtain evidence that is critical to the case. We will contact the medical people necessary to prove the extent of the injury to the employee to “paint” an accurate picture for the employer, insurance company, opposing lawyer, or jury.
