Questions of Liability in Workplace Injury Cases
Any experienced accident attorney will tell you that the validity of a personal injury case rests on how well negligence is proven. Employers are legally required to create working environments that value the safety of their employees. Failure to provide this or at least warn employees of potential workplace hazards can cause employers to be held legally liable. This is especially true when an employee’s injury is caused by those dangers.
In addition, accident attorneys handling workplace injury cases check if an employer fulfilled their legal responsibility to take certain measures following a workplace injury. Employers should offer prompt medical attention to injured employees. Temporary disability benefits must be also provided if the incurred injury prevents the employee from working.
As soon as you are injured, remember to:
- Document and photograph the scene of the accident.
- Notify your employer of your injury.
- See your doctor as soon as possible to get a documented independent opinion on the extent of your injuries.
- Get in touch with a workplace injury lawyer to review your case.
You should also pursue fair compensation from the responsible third party, depending on the circumstances of your injury. For example, if you were injured after using a defective product, you can hold its manufacturer responsible. Additional considerations apply if a construction site accident caused your injury.
