Workplace Injuries

Injuries resulting from your employment are considered work-related injuries. Some are easy to identify and difficult to refute. They typically have a sudden onset and are obviously painful. But there are other, harder to identify work-related injuries that still provide grounds for a viable workers' compensation claim. Have you suffered one of these injuries? If so, then it’s particularly important to choose an experienced workplace injury attorney who can investigate and prove your case. The car accident attorneys of The Previant Law Firm, S.C. have decades of experience and a track record of successful verdicts and settlements. Our results demonstrate our commitment to helping people who have suffered serious personal injuries and families who are grieving the wrongful death of a loved one killed in a car crash.
