Practice Areas Description

- Workers' Compensation Law

US employers and their employees rely on our dependable workers' compensation system to resolve disputes about vocational injuries and disease and to provide for related worker needs. Workers' compensation benefits are commonly awarded for work-related injury, illness and death, helping to meet the needs of injured workers and their families even when faced with overwhelming situations. If you or your family member is injured or becomes sick in the course of employment, an experienced and skilled workers' compensation lawyer from Martin Banks in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, can assess your potential workers' compensation claim.

- Construction Site Accidents

Our attorneys are familiar with the common injuries suffered in construction, remodeling, heavy construction and demolition. We have represented carpenters, painters, electricians, plumbers, iron workers and other tradesmen, union or non-union regarding injuries sustained by: falls from heights, ladder and scaffolding accidents, power tool and machinery injuries, fires, explosions and electrical shock, vehicle and heavy equipment accidents, back injuries and slip-and-falls on ice or slick surfaces. Your employer is obligated to pay for your medical care and lost wages, as well as loss of use or disfigurement. But we know that construction companies and their insurance carriers often deny claims from construction site accidents.

- Factory and Warehouse Worker Injuries

It may be necessary to prove that your injury is work-related, especially injuries to the back or joints that can't be traced to a specific incident. Our lawyers are adept at proving that connection to secure your full benefits. We have handled all types of injuries to warehouse and factory workers, such as: conveyor belt and assembly line injuries, machine press accidents, back injuries from lifting materials, repetitive stress injuries in shoulders and knees, crush injuries and other hand or foot injuries, forklift accidents, loading dock accidents, falling boxes and stacking collapses. If a third party such as an equipment manufacturer or delivery driver caused or contributed to your accident, we will help you to pursue additional lawsuits above and beyond your employer-paid benefits.

- Industrial Worker Injuries

We have helped hundreds of victims of manufacturing accidents and industrial accidents: press operators and floor workers, mechanics and maintenance engineers, pipefitters, power plant engineers, miners and others in similar dangerous jobs. Our experienced attorneys are familiar with the common causes of injuries including: drill presses, saws, stampers and cutters, conveyor belts and other machinery with moving parts, forklift and heavy machinery accidents, back injuries from moving materials, repetitive stress injuries, fires, explosions or electrocution, toxic inhalation and chemical burns, eye injury or hearing damage and falling injuries (catwalks, lifts).

- Truck Accidents Injuries

Having represented over-the-road haulers, delivery drivers, package truck drivers, bus drivers and other commercial truck drivers, our experienced lawyers are familiar with the common injuries: tuck accidents, loading and unloading accidents, back injuries from lifting and carrying, injuries from tarps, straps or doors, falls from trucks and slip-and-fall injuries. If you can't return to work, your employer must provide workers' compensation benefits, regardless of fault and regardless of where the accident occurred.

- Airline Worker Injuries

We have handled claims of employees for US Airways, other major carriers and commuter airlines, and for workers at Philadelphia International Airport, Northeast Philadelphia Airport, Lehigh Valley International Airport and municipal airports around southeast Pennsylvania. We are familiar with the common injuries to airport and airline employees: baggage handling and cargo loading injuries, baggage cart accidents, fueling and service vehicle accidents, mechanic injuries, slip and fall accidents (on icy tarmacs, moving walkways), injuries to flight crews (such as from turbulence) and plane crashes or taxiing accidents.

- Nurses and Medical Worker Injuries

We have represented a wide range of hospital, nursing home and healthcare workers: nurses, certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and orderlies, as well as staff doctors, physical therapists, lab technicians, dental hygienists and maintenance employees. Back injuries are by far the most common claim, from a specific work-related incident or as a cumulative stress injury. Staff shortages or realities of the moment often put nurses and care workers one-on-one with patients who are too heavy or too frail for one worker to handle. The result is herniated discs and back strains that take the person off the job for weeks, for months or permanently.

- Municipal and State Worker Injuries

Police officers, firefighters, sanitation workers, paramedics and other public employees face many dangers at work. And when they are injured in the line of duty, they face many of the same obstacles as civilian workers in filing workers' compensation claims. The law firm of Martin Banks handles public employee work injury claims on behalf of police, fire, ambulance, corrections and sanitation personnel. Our attorneys are here to ensure that your benefits are calculated correctly and your rights are upheld.

- Service Workers

Service industry workers are entitled to work injury benefits, too. Don't let your employer tell you differently. The workers' compensation protections apply to full-time and part-time jobs. It applies whether you were injured doing physical labor or tripped on the way to the restroom. If you were injured on the job, Martin Banks can help you get the full disability pay and medical care you deserve. Our firm has 30 years of experience in workers' compensation and our lawyers practice exclusively in work comp and Social Security Disability.

- Sanitation Workers

Sanitation workers face a number of on-the-job risks. If you have been injured working as a garbage collector, sewage worker, in pollution control or another sanitation job, it is important to have an experienced workers' compensation lawyer on your side. At Martin Banks, our attorneys understand the risks facing sanitation workers and are prepared to help. We have more than 30 years of experience helping injured workers throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. Sanitation workers are exposed to wide range of risks, including: back injuries from repeated lifting, exposure to toxic gases such as methane and hydrogen sulfide, skin infections, respiratory problems and garbage truck accidents.
