Workplace Injury Questions

How do I know if the dangerous condition that caused my accident is a hazard that could have been prevented?

Employers have a duty to provide an environment that is reasonably safe and free from dangerous conditions that could cause serious physical harm or death. Workplace injury laws protect employees from hazards that could endanger their health. Although there are some professions that are more dangerous by nature (such as construction), if an employer fails to remedy a situation that is avoidably unsafe, he or she may be guilty of negligence.

Who can be held accountable for my workplace injury?

While Workers’ Compensation laws often protect employers against injury claims, if your employer caused an intentional hazard or failed to fix a known danger, you may be able to seek compensation from that employer. There are also cases where fellow employees cause or contribute to a dangerous condition. Finally, the makers of defective or unsafe devices or equipment may be held liable for injuries sustained at work. A skilled Beckley personal injury lawyer can help you determine if you have a claim against your employer, a co-worker, or the manufacturer of defective equipment.
