When Your Ability to Make a Living is Impaired

Most clients who come to the law office of Bill Acton, Jr., are everyday working people with families to support. Being out of work can be financially devastating to them. When an injury to your hand, wrist, shoulder or knee is caused by negligence or an accident at the workplace, you are entitled to compensation for the life-changing event. My job is to help you receive compensation to avoid financial disaster.

Jobs requiring heavy lifting are not the only occupations where hand and wrist injuries occur. Secretaries and data entry professionals run the risk of career-ending injuries as well. For help, contact me at 704.837.0240.

Securing the Workers' Compensation Benefits You Need

Whether your job involves heavy physical work or light physical work, you can suffer injuries. Some clients, for example, suffer carpal tunnel from computer work. I seek to secure you the workers' compensation you are entitled to under the law.

Risks of Injury in Jobs Involving Physical Labor

Physical laborers can suffer a rotator cuff tear from lifting, twisting or falling. Damage to the knee can occur from a fall or bump that results in significant trauma. Surgery is required and the long-term effects of knee injuries and shoulder injuries can hamper future income potential.

Career-Threatening Hand and Wrist Injuries

Secretaries and data entry operators may not be bending and lifting heavy boxes or equipment, but their jobs still contain hazards. Continuous work on a keyboard without proper breaks leads to carpal tunnel. Inflamed and swollen wrist ligaments result in pinched nerves, putting professionals in that area out of work temporarily or permanently.

That level of fear and uncertainty that comes with an inability to work requires you to have an experienced advocate at your side.
