Common Work Injuries in Greensboro

Located in the Piedmont, Greensboro is a fast-growing city. The 2020 Census reported a population of around 300,000 in the city. Greensboro is adding roughly 30,000 residents per year. It is still the third most populous city in our state and is called the “Gateway City” as it is known for its highways, transportation, and manufacturing. Federal Express and Dell both have locations in Greensboro. It’s therefore no surprise that many workplace accidents occur in Greensboro and the surrounding Triad area. Whether you’re working in an office, on a construction site, driving a truck, or working in one of Greensboro’s many factories, work accidents can happen anytime.

Since 1985, the Greensboro workers’ comp lawyers at Riddle & Brantley have assisted North Carolinians who have suffered all types of injuries on the job, including:

• Traumatic Brain injuries
• Loss of limbs (hands, feet, arms, or legs)
• Back injuries
• Shoulder injuries
• Neck injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Knee, hip, and joint injuries
• Crush injuries
• Construction accident injuries
• Third-degree burns
• Occupational disease resulting from toxic chemical and substance exposure
• Asbestos exposure-related diseases like mesothelioma (there will also be a claim against a fund set up for compensation to mesothelioma survivors or beneficiaries)
• Death

We help clients in all industries and occupations, including office workers, law enforcement officers, medical staff, construction workers, truck drivers, factory and warehouse workers, and more.

In the most heartbreaking cases, our North Carolina wrongful death lawyers also represent the families of those tragically killed on the job. When a workplace accident results in long-term disability, a Greensboro Social Security disability attorney can help you seek those benefits, as well.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury at work, the Greensboro workers’ comp attorneys at Riddle & Brantley would love to help.

Our firm has been representing clients in workers’ compensation claims across the state (including in Greensboro) since 1985 and will do everything we can to make the entire process as stress-free as possible for you.

Results for Injured Workers

While every case is different and there is no “average” settlement or judgment, we are proud of the results we’ve obtained for injured workers across North Carolina (see disclaimer below), including:

• $2.75 Million | Construction Accident — Our client was a construction worker who was hit by a truck in a work zone while on the job. He suffered the eventual loss of his right leg below the knee, along with other injuries. Attorney Gene Riddle and Adam Smith handled the case, negotiating separate settlements with the workers’ comp carrier and the truck insurance company totaling $2,750,000 in compensation for our deserving client.
• $2.475 Million | Workplace Fall  — A construction worker fell from a platform and was critically injured, resulting in permanent disability. A team of Riddle & Brantley attorneys took on the case and fought for our client’s workers’ compensation claim. Following extensive mediations, we obtained total compensation of $2,475,000 for the victim and established two trusts to cover his long-term care.
• $1.8 Million | Truck Accident — When a truck driver was hit by another truck while on the job, he suffered serious injury, ultimately resulting in the loss of his left leg below the knee. Attorney Gene Riddle fought for justice, negotiating settlements with two insurance companies and obtaining $1,800,000 in compensation for the victim.
• $725,000 | Back Injury — An agricultural worker required numerous surgeries following a terrible back injury while on the job. Managing partner Gene Riddle took on the case, arguing successfully before the North Carolina Industrial Commission and winning a favorable decision. The claim ultimately settled for total compensation of $725,000 and we are proud to have won justice for the victim.
