Factory Accidents in WV
West Virginia Work Injury Lawyer
It is simply a fact that many industrial plants and factories in West Virginia provide unsafe working environments. Overhead cranes and other heavy equipment can collapse. Working at heights with inadequate safeguards presents too great an opportunity for a fall accident. Lack of adequate maintenance can result in a variety of serious mishaps including electrocutions, crane accidents, forklift accidents, ladder falls and conveyor belt catastrophes to name a few.
Dangerous working conditions stemming from safety and OSHA violations can mean injuries and time off the job and even permanent disability. Workers' compensation claims can be difficult to get processed. Some employers may even try to prevent claims from being filed to protect their loss record or to prevent an OSHA investigation. If you have run into resistance when you tried to file your claim, your claim has been denied, your accident was the result of another's negligence or your employer's deliberate intent you should consult a respected West Virginia work injury attorney immediately.
Workplace Accident Attorney in West Virginia
Most employers are sufficiently concerned that they make the effort to institute adequate safety guidelines and ensure equipment and machinery is properly maintained. Factories can be dangerous places with open fast moving parts and defective equipment which present known hazards. Failure to train new employees adequately or failure to train existing workers on new equipment on the part of an employer can expose many to the possibility of a serious accident. Many injured workers miss out on additional compensation they may be entitled to receive because they don't know their rights. A skilled workers' comp lawyer can look closely at the accident which caused your injuries to determine if you can file a claim to recover damages or may be eligible for additional benefits.
If you can claim damages from a manufacturer, equipment supplier or repair shop your family's future could be significantly changed.
