Injured at Work Rights
Employees have the right to work in a safe environment. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) was created to prevent workers from being killed or seriously harmed while at work. Employers are required by law to keep working conditions free from known dangers and to provide safe and healthy working conditions. Under the OSH Act, workers have the right to:
- Receive information about hazards
- Receive training methods to help prevent harm
- Receive copies of test results done for hazards at work
- Review a copy of records from work-related injuries or illnesses
Work Comp Injuries
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 4,383 workers died from on the job accidents in 2012. Construction is one of the most dangerous professions and fatal work injuries in construction jobs increased in the past year.
Work injuries can occur in many different ways. On the job accidents may include:
- Burn injuries
- Broken bone injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Back injuries
- Electrical shock injuries
- Severe laceration injuries
- Eye injuries
Workers' Compensation Settlements
Workplace injuries can require hospitalization, surgeries, or even loss of life. Hospital bills can accumulate and injured workers should be able to focus on healing from their injuries instead of stressing about the expenses related to the accident. Injured on the job lawyers may be able to help hardworking employees who are injured or disabled by helping provide benefits to cover medical bills. Some employees have their work comp claims denied, which can cause difficulties in obtaining the benefits needed to heal and work again. Work comp attorneys may be able to assist you in receiving benefits for lost wages and new career training, if necessary.
