Getting full compensation for an injury at the workplace.
Whether you're working on a construction site or in a factory, every workplace in Maine carries a risk of injury. The Workers Compensation system is designed to provide some protection for injuries on the job, but it does not cover a full fair value for the injury. The law does not allow more recovery against your employer, but there may be a case against someone else who is responsible for your injury.

The BIG Secrets About Maine Injury Claims: What No One Is Telling You About The Process by Don Lowry
Injuries from
occupational accidents in Maine can range from simple to severe, costing victims pain, hospital stays, missed work, and loss of life. Any one of these accidents can result in an injury that requires costly medical treatment, weeks of rehabilitation, and loss of income for you and your family, losses which may go well beyond what Workers Comp provides.
Some
common types of industrial accidents in Maine include:
-
Construction site injuries. Construction sites are some of the most dangerous workplaces in the US. Workers are at constant risk of falls from ladders or scaffolding, being hit or crushed with heavy equipment, and electrocution or burns from faulty wiring. Because there are usually numerous subcontractors on the site, injuries are often caused by someone other than the injured person's employer.
-
Manufacturing accidents. Workers in factories and mills are often exposed to the risk of accidents involving machinery or equipment which cause serious injury or death. The manufacturer or supplier may be liable if the machine has inadequate safety protection or if warnings are absent or insufficient.
-
Farm machinery and agricultural accidents. Heavy machinery risks, such as tractor and combine accidents, are a common concern for farm workers, but they can also suffer grain bin or silo entrapments, chemical exposure, and animal-related injuries and diseases.
-
Fishing and Marine industry accidents. Fishermen and others involved in marine-related businesses are often at risk of injury from machinery or dangerous conditions on board vessels or in the workplace.
