Workplace Injury Attorney
Many on-the-job injuries are covered by Washington's Department of Labor & Industries. But some on the job injuries are the fault of third parties - a bad driver, a general contractor who fails to provide a safe workplace, or a defectively designed piece of equipment.
We've handled many such claims, and we are always ready and willing to investigate cases where a working person has been hurt on the job.
Tkachev v. Ledcor
$2.4 million settlement
Construction laborer Vasily Tkachev, a Ukrainian immigrant, was applying wire mesh outside a building. Guardrails had not yet arrived for the scaffold Vasily was using. As he worked, Vasily's foot got tangled in the mesh stacked on the scaffold and he fell to the ground. Injuries included a broken leg, which eventually became infected and had to be amputated. Through careful investigation and a detailed presentation of the facts of the case, SKWC was able to obtain this outstanding result.
