If you were injured and have filed a personal injury case, you may wonder whether your case will go to trial or settle before that point.

However, your employer may not want to pay for things like your past medical treatment and any ongoing treatment you may need to have.

Direct skin contact with concrete can lead to debilitating burns that can become disabling. Anytime work has been done with concrete, signage and barrier tape should be placed to limit direct exposure to the harmful substance.  Negligence can lead to someone coming in contact with wet concrete, which can result in severe injuries and, therefore, a personal injury lawsuit. If you've been injured by wet concrete due to someone's carelessness, you can seek compensation for your injuries.
