Riverside Workplace Accidents and Injuries Lawyer

No matter the type of environment in which you work, injuries can happen. Accidents occur in offices as well as in warehouses and at construction sites. We are able to offer help with cases that deal with a wide array of different types of personal injuries that could happen at your place of work.

The types of accidents that can occur at the workplace seem endless: construction accidents, warehouse accidents, crane accidents, industrial and manufacturing accidents, improper scaffolding, scaffolding collapses, defective machinery, improper and/or missing safety devices, chemical exposure, negligent operation, falls from scaffolding and ladders, and construction vehicle accidents are just a few.

Slips, trips and falls due to inappropriately placed wiring and/or other machinery often causes injuries at works, as do general slip and fall accidents. Roof cave ins, fires, electric shock, collisions with heavy equipment, welding mishaps, compressed gas accidents and more are commonplace.

Falling accidents can happen on construction sites, as can trench collapses, scissors lift failure, machine tool accident, power tool accidents, hand-held power tool accidents and fork left accidents.

Often times, workplace injuries are due to OSHA violations. If this is the case, it is imperative that you hire an attorney who is very familiar with OSHA requirements, and what constitutes a violation. Some businesses may not even have insurance, and getting injured at one of these businesses can cause a very complicated legal situation. If you have an injury in your workplace, and the employer does not have insurance, it can be a nightmare for all invovled. We can also help with certain types of occupational diseases that might develop, and even repetitive stress injuries.

Many people who suffer from an injury at work simply shrug off the problem if they do not deem it serious. In some cases, the employer may try to have you sign a document that will relieve them of liability for the injury. Before you sign anything that the employer or the HR department gives you, it is in your best interest to contact our personal injury lawyers.
