Mistakes happen in the workplace, just as they do in other parts of life. But when an avoidable mistake in the workplace causes death or a lifelong disability, that explanation just isn’t enough. State and federal laws strictly regulate workplace safety, and workplaces should have their own safety rules and procedures. But all too often, managers and owners interested in saving a few dollars ignore those rules or find ways around them. Other times, workers just don’t follow them, out of carelessness or bad communication.

You have a right to be safe when you are in a hotel, motel, apartment complex or other public or commercial place. Crime prevention and security, or lack thereof, play an important role in cases where someone is the victim of a crime in a public or commercial place.
Inadequate security claims can arise out of injuries on most any type of property, including:
All of these places invite the public to be present, and often to spend money, and you have a right to be safe from injury while on the property.
Some of the most common serious injuries from workplace or construction site accidents include:
These on-the-job work injuries can kill their victims or leave them with amputations, chronic pain, multiple fractures, spinal injuries or brain damage. These are catastrophic injuries that rob victims of essential parts of their lives — often including their careers. Even when workers’ compensation insurance works the way it should, these injuries can be extremely expensive to treat and live with. When there’s no workers’ compensation or insurers don’t play fair, it just adds insult to literal injury. If you were injured at work through no fault of your own, you may file a workplace accident lawsuit to get compensation for costs caused by the accident as well as your injury, pain and suffering, any permanent disability and more.
If you have sustained injuries as a result of a workplace accident, you have the right to hold the guilty party responsible. A workplace accident attorney can help you recover financial compensation for the losses you have suffered, including medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering from your injury.
