Were You Injured On the Job?
If you’ve been hurt while at work, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans are injured on the job every year and more than half of reported cases involve serious injuries. When you’re hurt at work you face not only the pain of the injury itself but high medical costs, days away from work and lost wages.
If your injury could have been prevented, contact an attorney. Remember that if you have worker’s compensation insurance it may cover your employer but that doesn’t mean it includes all the parties or persons who may have been responsible for your injury. For example sub-contractors and equipment providers may have contributed to your situation.
What Counts as a Work Injury?
There are many different types of situations that can lead to work injury lawsuits. Here are some of the most common situations:
- Lack of Appropriate Warnings –Your employer has to make sure that adequate warnings were given to employees if they knew there were certain risks.
- Unsafe Work Conditions – Unfortunately, many working environments are flat-out unsafe, and your employer has a responsibility when it comes to your health.
- Safety Equipment Deficiencies – Too often companies take dangerous short cuts on safety equipment that results in preventable injuries.
- Job Training Deficiencies – Poor training means you weren’t properly prepared for your occupation when you started working.
- Supervision Deficiencies – Was someone supposed to be watching your back? Lack of supervision can be a liability.
