A legal team that understands occupational hazards
The Rubino, Ruman, Crosmer & Polen team includes members who have worked in the construction field and are personally aware of the devastating consequences of injuries to workers in this industry. Construction trade workers, ironworkers, boilermakers, operating engineers, police and firefighters, for example, put their lives at risk daily to perform their jobs. Less perilous office positions can also perpetuate chronic debilitating illnesses or repetitive stress injuries from long-term exposure to unhealthy conditions or tasks. We continue to proudly maintain relationships with local unions in Northwest Indiana and support the rights of workers to safe, healthy occupational environments in all types of employment.
