Workplace Accidents

Workplace accidents occur all of the time. It's possible to be injured in an office just as much as it is on a construction site. Our expert Accident Attorneys can help you if you have experienced any kind of personal injury or loss of substantial income due to a workplace accident.

Over ten million Americans are injured while on the job or tending to workd-related matters.

If you experience a workplace accident, you must report all or any of the following to receive compensation:

• Deaths
• Major Injuries
• Over-Three-Day Injuries (this is when an employee or self-employed person has an accident at work and is unable to work for over three days, but does not have a major injury)
• Work-Related Diseases
• Dangerous Occurrences
• Where a member of the public is taken directly to hospital

This is to ensure that you receive maximum compensation by your employer, or those at fault, if your workplace accident goes to trial.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) lists the following accident prevention recommendations:

• Institute a program for frequent and regular inspections of the job site, materials, and equipment by a competent person(s).
• Require employees exposed to the potential hazards associated with flying nails to use appropriate personal protective equipment.
• Train employees using power actuated tools in the safe operation of the particular tool.
• Train employees operating power actuated tools to avoid firing into easily penetrated materials.

Common accidents frequently occuring in workplaces include:

• Slip and Fall
• Back Injuries
• Fallen Object Accidents
• Lacerations
• Abrasions
• Carpal Tunnel
• Burns
• Broken Bones
