Securing Your Right to Workers’ Compensation

Too often these benefits are denied, causing you to struggle to pay medical bills and replace lost income. At Walton Telken Bragee, we are available to handle every aspect of your workers’ compensation claim. We will also work to maximize your chances of recovery, if another party beyond your employer can be held responsible.

Investigating Liability Factors in Crane Accidents

Our firm’s Madison and St. Clair County, Illinois, crane accident lawyers have experience determining fault in catastrophic and fatal construction accident claims, even when liability initially seems unclear. We evaluate every angle possible to determine if another party besides your employer was negligent. Our legal team will aggressively pursue a personal injury claim, if a third party’s negligent actions caused the crane accident and your injury.

We have the resources to consult product liability experts in determining if the manufacturer made an error when developing the wire cable and hook. We will aggressively pursue maximum compensation against the manufacturer for causing any hook failures. Part of our focus includes inspecting the premises and construction equipment to understand if any safety measures were overlooked.

We will work with witnesses to determine if the load on the crane was too heavy, ultimately causing the accident. We have access to industry-leading experts, including mechanical engineers and electrical engineers to identify liability factors. We prepare every construction accident claim with a focus on proving fault in trial. Our client-centered focus has proven to be invaluable in helping us obtain large settlements, since insurance companies know we are fully prepared to prove fault in trial.
