The Kemmy Difference

We have a saying that goes "When you hire the Kemmy Law Firm, you don't just hire one lawyer, you hire a team of lawyers." Tom Kemmy is an award-winning and board certified personal injury lawyer who has been practicing injury law since 1986. His sons are experienced personal injury lawyers and former prosecutors that represented the State of Texas against murderers, thieves, drug traffickers, and violent criminals. We put our combined experience and knowledge in the pursuit of one goal, to win and obtain maximum justice for our client. 

Should You Hire a Lawyer After a Construction Accident?

Most Hobbs, NM, workers know to pursue a workers’ compensation claim after an accident. But do you know your other options? Do you know what to do if your employer doesn’t provide workers’ comp insurance? Give Kemmy Law Firm a call for guidance. We are here to fight for the best possible outcome.

  • We’ll Explain Your Options
    You might have the right to file a lawsuit against a person or business other than your employer. This third-party claim can be essential in recovering more compensation. Also, if you learn your employer doesn’t carry workers’ compensation, or you are not covered, you might be entitled to sue your employer. We will review your situation and explain all your options.
  • We Investigate the Cause of the Workplace Accident
    Another advantage of hiring a lawyer is learning the facts through an independent investigation. To determine whether you can file a third-party liability claim, you need to know who caused the accident. You need evidence showing the other party acted carelessly, recklessly, or maliciously in causing your injuries. Kemmy Law Firm gets to the bottom of construction accidents.
  • We Evaluate OSHA Violations
    Construction businesses are required to adhere to state and federal safety and health regulations. Evidence of a violation of OSHA regulations could be evidence of negligence. Regulatory violations are something that should be reported whether or not they impact your claim.
  • We Strive to Maximize Your Compensation
    All of the work we do on your behalf is to improve the outcome of your case. While no one wants to go to court, as a family of experienced trial lawyers, we will prepare for everything and our only goal is to win you the maximum compensation possible.
