Workplace Injury

Have you been injured on the job? A workplace injury has far-reaching effects on both your health and career. Whether you have been injured in a construction accident or suffered asbestos exposure, you want a lawyer who can help you maximize your claim. At the Wilmington, NC office of Shipman & Wright, L.L.P., we can help you obtain the compensation you deserve.

Over the past twenty-five years, our firm has built a tradition based on real results. If you have suffered a workplace injury, you can be sure that we will put our full commitment behind you and build the strongest case we can.

Workplace accidents can happen to anyone and they can happen in any number of ways. We have protected the rights of workers who have developed cancer from workplace exposure to asbestos or other dangerous materials, such as toxic mold. With an extensive construction litigation practice, we are familiar with the various hazards facing construction workers.

Sometimes workplace accidents are more than just circumstance and some people suffer serious injuries as a result of their co-workers. Our firm handles workplace injury cases resulting from third party wrongdoing, including sexual harassment and workplace assault.

While every employee is entitled to workers’ compensation after their workplace injury in North Carolina, many people can also file an additional personal injury claim. This is especially common in construction accidents involving contractors and subcontractors. We will investigate your case to determine whether there is an opportunity to build your case with an additional personal injury claim.
