Hi, my name is Elvis John Adams and I am the Workers' Compensation and Employment Attorney here at Gallardo Law Office and today we're here to talk about falling objects, falling debris. This is very common in construction sites. People do get hit by falling objects. What we would do in these cases is depending on where you get hit by the debris is we would file for whatever specialist you would need. So if you get hit in the head, we would file for a neurologist.If you get hit in the back, we would file for an orthopedist.So it all depends on where you get hit and obviously what the initial treatment says and diagnostics, etc. But definitely we would file for whatever specialist you would need to treat that part of the body affected by the falling debris. And then if you're not working because of the accident, because of the injuries, we would also file for indemnity, which are the workers' comp checks for the time that you can't work because of the injury. Remember, if your employer or insurance company is not giving you the benefits that you think you're entitled to, call us at Gallardo Law Office, 305-261-7000.
