Wind Farm Injury Attorney

Unfortunately, working on a wind farm can be a hazardous vocation. However, it provides a vital service to the state, and each community receives this essential electricity. In most cases, the staff working on these projects during the construction and to provide ongoing maintenance and service follow a long list of safety protocols. However, accidents can happen even on the safest job site. Thins break, or safety devices fail, and the result is often one of these common incidents:

• Workers injured in a fall
• Falling objects striking a worker
• Injuries while carrying an object
• Trip and fall or slip and fall incidents

Fortunately, many injury incidents at wind farms result in minor injuries that can be treated and heal quickly. But because of the environment and the massive mechanical devices in this industry, there are also many possibilities for workers to sustain severe harm, which can include:

• Severe laceration or puncture wounds involving damage to internal organs and internal bleeding
• Partial or complete amputations
• Damage to the connective tissue of the joints or a complete joint dislocation
• Contact or electrical burns
• Back, neck, and spinal cord damage
• Compression injuries
• Fractured, broken, or shattered bones
• Injuries to the delicate skin of the face, the eyes, ears, nose, or mouth
• Head injuries that range from a skull fracture or severe concussion to a traumatic brain injury or brain bleed

If you suffer any accident at a wind farm while on the clock, be sure to seek immediate medical care and a complete evaluation to ensure any harm, even minor, is quickly diagnosed and treated to provide the best outcome. Then, contact DTLA Law Group to discuss using your worker’s comp benefits to cover the cost of your medical expenses and other losses.

Many wind farm workers are worried they do not have worker’s comp coverage because they have not paid for the insurance. They do not understand that all employers in the state are legally required to participate in the program and cover the entire cost to include all their staff in the program. So, if you work in the state, you can be confident that you have this helpful and robust coverage that was created to decrease the financial burden on an employee who suffered an injury while on the job.

The cost of medical care is always a concern when you suffer an injury. In instances with more severe harm, it can be devastating to see tens of thousands of dollars in medical expenses arrive in the mail. Fortunately, the creators of the California worker’s comp program recognize the hardships created by massive medical care costs and have provided robust benefits to offset these costs. Workers who are hurt on the job can receive up to $1M in medical care coverage from the program.

In most cases, the medical care providers will bill their services directly to the program, and you never need to pay any deductible or co-pay. In addition, you should understand that this medical care coverage will pay for more than just doctor and hospital bills; it can be used to pay for prescribed medication, essential medical devices, therapy, and rehabilitation of your workplace injuries, as well as other costs related to the care of these injuries.

You can also receive up to 66% of your regular weekly income from the program to help cover your routine living expenses. This money is paid to you and can be used as you choose. If your on the job injuries result in long-term limitations that are partial or permanent, the program also provides compensation for the lost earning potential you will suffer due to these new restrictions or limitations. Finally, if your on the clock injuries result in constraints that will prevent you from ever returning to your career at the wind farm, the worker’s comp program will provide free vocational training to assist you in securing a new job once you have healed and are medically cleared to seek employment.
