The workplace can indeed be hazardous, whether it’s an oil rig, warehouse, office, or commercial building. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), nearly 4,700 American workers lost their lives on the job in 2014 alone and thousands more are injured each year. If you’ve suffered an injury on the job due to negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
Common injuries in the workplace include burns, broken bones, loss of hearing or vision, brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and other back injuries. While there are still risks of injury even in calm professional settings, these injuries often occur in more labor-intensive jobs and may involve: work-related auto accidents; slips, trips, and falls; falling objects or debris; falls from heights; repetitive motion injuries; overexertion from heavy lifting and/or lowering; machine entanglement; or electrocution.
Many of these accidents are not caused by a mistake or mishap of an employee, but rather the negligence of the employer, a manufacturer, another company, or even a third-party company. To earn your maximum compensation for your injury, you need an experienced personal injury attorney to determine and demonstrate exactly who is legally responsible and fight for you to the very end.
