In some cases, companies will offer a specific settlement amount but this may not cover all of your needs. Before settling on any amount, consult with our office to help you receive all you’re entitled to.

Work injuries from construction sites can take many forms, from falls to electric shocks to machinery accidents. Regardless of how you’ve been injured, we’ll make sure you’re taken care of and compensated appropriately.
Knee, Shoulder, and Joint Injuries

Is tennis elbow affecting your reach or range of motion? Don’t ignore these injuries or try to fight through them. Let us help you get the treatment and compensation you deserve.
Carpal Tunnel
Probably the most well known form of repetitive stress injury, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome affects the hands and arms due to consistent, heavy use of the hands over time. It can manifest as pain and discomfort, numbness, tingling, weakness, or even burning sensations in the hand, wrist, or forearm. If you’re experiencing this type of pain, let your employer know right away – then call our experienced attorneys.
Permanent and Total Disability
When a worker becomes permanently impaired, they can no longer work at all. This may be due to a severe brain injury, paralysis, amputations, or more. These cases can be tricky with many legal hurdles on the way to compensation. You can rely on our legal team to help during this stressful time.
Work Injury Scars
The effects of workplace injuries can continue to be seen long after the initial injury has been treated. Scars or other disfigurements can bring about painful memories years later. These physical markings can also bring about emotional scarring as well, affecting your mental health and emotional stability. Our legal team will do everything possible to make sure you are made whole again.
Back Injuries
Back injuries can be sustained at work whether your job entails heavy lifting or just being on your feet all day. Nerve damage, sciatica, herniated discs, strained muscles – they can all leave you temporarily or permanently disabled with pain. While back injuries are some of the most common workplace injuries, that doesn’t make them any less serious – call our office today for experienced representation!
Repetitive Stress Injuries
Sometimes, the most hazardous part of our job is the smallest task that we do throughout the day. Repetitive motions can wreak havoc on our bodies over time, showing up as nerve pain, muscle strain, inflammation, tissues damage, or more. Repetitive stress injuries can affect any worker on any job and can cause years of pain and suffering. Call our legal team for help with your claim!
Traumatic On-the-Job Injuries
Traumatic injuries can occur at any workplace, regardless of whether your job involves physical labor or not. This type of injury can include slips and falls, fires, faulty equipment, workplace negligence, and more. These events are often unforeseen but can have a damaging effect on your quality of life. Talk to our law office for help with these kinds of cases.
Permanent Impairment
Any injury has the potential to impact your life, but none more so than injuries that create disabilities. Serious workplace injuries can cause permanent impairment or disability, leaving the injured party unable to do the job they were trained and hired for. Not only do these injuries affect your income, but they typically cause an increase in medical need, causing greater expenses. During these difficult cases, it pays to have the experience of Berg & Robeson P.C. on your side.
Occupational Diseases
When most people think about preventing workplace injuries, they’re typically thinking of physical injuries. However, workers can also be harmed by chemicals, poor air quality, or a number of other factors that could cause disease or internal distress. Consult with our lawyers about the nature of your job, the disease you’ve contracted, and the link between them and we’ll help you receive proper compensation.
