Servpro is a franchise system that provides services in the U.S. and Canada. They provide water, fire, mold cleanup, and restoration services residentially and commercially locally and for large-scale disasters. Some specialty franchises also offer biohazard cleaning services, document restoration, electronics restoration, reconstruction, and even dry cleaning.
Servpro was founded in 1967 by Ted and Doris Isaacson as a painting business in Sacramento, California. Because of their background in cleaning and restoration, the company quickly was transformed into a franchisor of cleaning and restoration specialists. The first franchise was sold in 1969. About 20 years after its founding, the company relocated to Tennessee. By 2000, Servpro had 1,000 franchises. Today, Servpro consists of over 1,700 franchises in the U.S. and Canada.
Without a doubt, Servpro has grown substantially over the years. In fact, after relocating to Tennessee, headquarters had to be moved to a large facility (140,000 square feet) which was later expanded (to 200,000 square feet). In addition, the company has been named one of the state’s top workplaces many years in a row.
If you are a Servpro employee and suffered harm after being exposed to hazardous substances or materials during a cleaning job, you could have grounds to sue. Of course, you could file a WC claim (workers compensation claim). However, you could also be eligible to file a lawsuit if your employer refuses to take your workers comp claim seriously, or if the harm that you suffered occurred due to the negligent actions of your employer.

Possible Harm Resulting from Working with Servpro
As mentioned above, Servpro offers a number of cleaning services, some of which require their employees to come into contact with toxic chemicals and other hazardous materials. Some examples of these include mold, lead, smoke, etc. Exposure can lead to things like smoke inhalation injuries, lead poisoning, toxic substance poisoning, respiratory issues, etc. Because harm could come from exposure to certain chemicals and materials during cleanup services, it is essential that Servpro cleaners are properly trained and equipped to safely perform their jobs.
Ultimately, whether Servpro employees are working on mold remediation, fire damage cleanup or restoration, construction or any other type of service that they provide, they can potentially suffer harm as a direct result of said work.
Your Right to Sue
If you were injured on the job while working for Servpro, you could have the right to file a claim. Primarily, you could have the right to file for workers compensation benefits. Workers comp benefits can include medical pay, temporary/permanent disability, and more. If employers do not carry workers compensation insurance, do not carry enough coverage, or unfairly deny the claim, then injured employees could file a lawsuit to secure workers compensation benefits.
I was injured on the property of another 3rd party franchise. Depending on the details surrounding the incident, you could either have grounds to sue your employer or the property owner. For instance, if the harm that you suffered can be attributed to poor training, a lack of adequate safety equipment, unclear safety protocol, etc., then your employer could be held accountable. On the contrary, if the harm was caused by an incident resulting from a hazard on the premises of the property being worked on (like broken floors, uneven flooring, potholes, slippery surfaces, etc.), then the property owner could be liable.
Whether you were injured during Servpro construction contractors, mold cleanup, fire damage repair, or any other service provided by the company, you could have the right to sue. It is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible with a Servpro accident lawyer for more information about your legal options.
