Justice For Workplace Accident Victims

Those employed in the transportation, mining, manufacturing and construction industries are at the highest risk of being hurt in a serious workplace accident, although no worker in any occupation is entirely safe. Despite major strides that have been made to improve workplace safety, serious job-related accidents continue to occur.

Florida workers compensation law provides financial compensation to employees who are injured on the job – but depending on the nature of your injuries, the benefits you receive may not be enough to cover your medical expenses and lost wages.

Common Types of Serious Workplace Accidents

Shapiro, Goldman, Babboni and Walsh have provided legal assistance to workers injured in a wide variety of accidents, such as those listed below:

Motor vehicles: The leading cause of workplace accidents and deaths involve motor vehicles. The U.S. Department of Labor reports that 1,354 workers die annually in crashes on public highways, while 358 pedestrian workers are killed each year. Truck drivers, delivery drivers and those who work around vehicles at construction sites, warehouses, ports or terminals are at risk for these serious accidents.
Heavy equipment: A worker can suffer crushed limbs, head and brain injuries or severe back and spinal cord injuries from working around heavy equipment such as bulldozers, backhoes, graders, forklifts, skid steers, hydraulic lifts or cranes. These heavy equipment injuries commonly occur in construction, manufacturing and warehouse work.
Machinery: Factories and industrial plants can be dangerous places, especially when workers are not properly trained to work safely around machinery or are provided with inadequate protective gear. Some injuries are caused by machinery that is not properly fitted with guards and safety mechanisms, such as emergency stops.
Falls: One of the leading causes of injuries for construction workers is falls from ladders, scaffolding or cranes, or through elevator shafts or holes in flooring. Serious injuries can also be suffered from slipping and falling on wet, oily, snowy, icy or uneven floors, and on stairways that lack railings or guards.
Falling objects: Bricks, planks, tools or other heavy materials can fall on construction laborers, while improperly stacked goods may fall on warehouse or factory workers. Falling objects frequently lead to serious head and brain injuries, especially when a worker hasn't been provided with proper protective gear.
Flying debris: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 2,000 workers suffer eye injuries each year, with the majority of those injuries caused by flying debris such as metal shavings, wood splinters, shards of brick or glass, and dust or other particulate matter.
Fires and explosions: Burns, disfigurement and damage to the lungs can result from a fire or explosion in a factory, warehouse or construction site. These serious accidents tend to occur because of the negligent storage or handling of gases, flammable liquids or hazardous chemicals. Frequently, welding can emit sparks that ignite fires.
Electrocution: Unsafe equipment, improper grounding, poor insulation, loose connections or exposed and corroded live wires can lead to severe burn injuries for workers. An electrocution can result in burns to the hands, arms, feet and legs, numbness in the affected body part or possibly fatal cardiac arrythmia.
Toxic chemical exposure: Some of the most serious workplace accidents are those that stem from exposure to toxic chemicals. These hazardous materials can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled through the mouth, nose and lungs, causing irritation, burns, poisoning or long-term diseases such as cancer.

Public policy and fairness dictate that the person or entity responsible for causing an accident pay the costs associated with that accident. An injury victim should not bear the cost of an accident caused by another.
