Workers Compensation Metal & Iron Worker Injury Claims
Metal and iron workers engage in some of the most dangerous types of work and are often involved in serious accidents at work. Serious and catastrophic injuries to steel workers, iron workers and other types of metal workers often occur because of:
• Falling objects
• Falls from heights
• Welding accidents
• Explosions
Some metal workers, such as welders, are exposed to potential occupational diseases, such as manganese poisoning, over time. Other metal workers are engaged in physically compromising circumstances that lead to serious injuries like:
• Loss of a limb
• Vision loss
• Hearing loss
• Neck and back injuries
Workmen’s Compensation Benefits
Money cannot put your life back as it was before a serious injury. However, money can provide needed treatment and accommodations that can enable an injured metal worker to live with dignity. We can explain the benefits available to you under the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act.
