Every employee deserves to work in a safe environment. Unfortunately, workplace accidents still occur, often due to employer negligence. At SFA Law, we’re passionate about holding employers accountable and ensuring workers know their rights.
- Common Causes of Workplace Injuries Workplace injuries can result from slip-and-fall accidents, equipment malfunctions, lack of safety training, or exposure to hazardous materials. Identifying the root cause is crucial for building a strong case.
- Employer Responsibilities Employers are legally required to provide a safe working environment. This includes maintaining equipment, providing safety gear, and training employees on safety protocols. Failure to meet these obligations can result in liability for injuries.
- What to Do After a Workplace Injury Report the injury to your supervisor immediately and seek medical attention. Document the incident and gather evidence, such as photos of unsafe conditions. Keep copies of all medical records and communication with your employer.
- Your Legal Options Depending on the circumstances, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits or have grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit. An attorney can help determine the best course of action.
