Workplace Injuries
How safe is your workplace? The 3.3 million people who became ill or or were injured at their workplaces in 2009 would likely answer that their respective workplaces were not safe. Workplace injuries may occur because of any number of reasons, including:
- Hazardous work conditions
- Unsafe machinery
- Lack of protective clothing or proper equipment for your job
- Employer failure to meet federal (OSHA) and state health and safety standards
- Lack of environmental protections or poor work setting
While not all workplace injuries happen in the same way or for the same reason, all employees are entitled to compensation for their injuries. All employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance to provide for injured employees. This compensation covers the costs of the necessary medical care and may also include monetary payments to compensate for the injury.
Regardless of where you work and what kind of work you do, you are entitled to a safe workplace and the materials necessary to complete your job safely. If you have become injured or have contracted an illness on the job, you may be entitled to a cash settlement. Please complete the form and one of our attorneys will contact you, or call 1-800-LAW-FIRM now.
