3. > Office Injuries
An office environment is the last place that you would
expect an accident to occur. Offices do not have the hazards
of a factory or construction site but that doesn’t mean that
accidents do not happen. Due to the negligence of others, a
variety of office injuries may occur such as:
• Trips/Falls
• Overexertion
• Impacts
• Electrocution/Fires
• Illness/Disease
• And more
Our workers’ compensation attorneys have more than 20
years of experience representing individuals or families that
have become injured in an office environment in the Cary,
NC area. We take a personal look at your case and do
everything in our legal power to get you the benefits or
compensation you deserve.
4. Normally, when a worker is injured on the job, they are only
entitled to workers’ compensation benefits if they were
injured in an accident or a specific incident. However, there
are cases where the worker suffers from an illness or
disease characteristic of the workplace.
Since 1994, Ledbetter & Titsworth has been helping injured
workers receive occupational disease compensation in the
following types of cases:
• Exposure to asbestos
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Repetitive motion injuries
• Exposure to various chemicals & skin diseases

• Hearing loss
• Tendonitis
• and more
> Occupational Diseases
5. When trying to find the party responsible for the injured
construction worker’s injuries, our law firm looks at the case
from all angles. Due to the high number of parties involved in
a construction site, the owners, architects, insurance
companies, general contractors, sub-contractors and
manufacturers of equipment could be responsible for
construction worker’s injuries.
All of these parties must provide a reasonably safe place to
work, warn of the possible dangers and hazards that are
present in the site and coordinate job safety. When this does
not happen, accidents happen and construction workers can
encounter the following types of injuries:
• Broken and/or fractured bones
• Traumatic brain injury, Spinal cord injury
• Electrocution, Burn injuries
• Quadriplegia, Paraplegia
• Wrongful death
