Akron may be famous as the “Rubber Capital of the World,” but today’s economy in Summit and Stark counties is driven by much more than just tires. From the advanced polymer research labs and manufacturing plants to the bustling corridors of Summa Health and Aultman Hospital, this region is a diverse hub of industry. But with this diversity comes a wide range of workplace risks. When you are injured on the job in Akron or Canton, you need an attorney who understands the specific hazards of your profession.
At Philip J. Fulton Law Office, we have decades of experience representing workers across this region’s key sectors. We understand the unique challenges you face and have successfully handled claims involving:
- Healthcare Professionals: Back injuries, spinal strain from patient lifting, and slip-and-fall accidents affecting nurses and staff at major employers like Summa Health, Akron General, and Aultman Hospital.
- Polymer and Advanced Manufacturing: Chemical exposure, machine press injuries, and repetitive stress conditions common in the region’s polymer and materials manufacturing facilities.
- Education and Public Service: Injuries affecting maintenance, food service, and administrative staff at the University of Toledo, Kent State, and local school districts.
- Utilities and Logistics: Electrical burns, falls from heights, and vehicle accidents involving workers at FirstEnergy and local distribution centers.
