Railroad Workers (FELA)
Steel mill workers earn a living in a very dangerous environment. There are regular media reports of workers dying or being serious injured and paralyzed from injuries sustained at work, on the job.
Steel mill accidents can kill workers who fall from high ladders or who fall prey to molten steel that shifts during transport. They can be crushed, electrocuted, or burned to death – all while doing their jobs.
And all too often, the initial response by the employer is that the worker has unfortunately died or been seriously hurt, but the circumstances surrounding the event are not made known to the public or the family, and the initial cause of death is something amorphous such as “blunt force trauma.”
With its allegiance to the working man, nothing incenses the trial lawyer at the law firm of Kenneth J. Allen & Associates more than a perceived hiding of facts by employers, particular when there is a tragic and painful death involved as often happens to mill workers.
At Kenneth J. Allen & Associates, firm experts fully investigate and thereafter testify to both cause and effect in all mill accident cases. Expert engineers are called upon to tell the why and how of what went wrong to cause the incident. For survivors who are suffering from catastrophic injuries, a physician specializing in rehabilitative medicine will map out a “life care plan” that shows the victim’s needs in terms of dollars and cents, taking into account medical inflation and quality of life.
