Injured on the Job? Know Your Rights.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workplace injuries and fatalities have been on the rise in recent years. Most states in the U.S. require employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance in some form, but there are a variety of exceptions and exemptions. In Missouri, employers in the construction industry are required to carry workers’ comp insurance with as little as one employee, while in other areas, the employer must carry insurance if there are five or more employees. Regardless of workers’ compensation insurance issues, a very serious or fatal workplace injury may involve intricate sources of liability; besides the inherent risks of some workplaces, liability may lay with the manufacturer of defective equipment, a worker at the job location from another employer, or any number of factors. Ensuring the protection of rights for severely injured workers or surviving members of a worker who was killed on the job means having the help of an experienced and knowledgeable workplace injury attorney as soon as possible.

Fatal and Non-Fatal Workplace Accidents Caused by Negligence

Employers have a duty to ensure the safety of the premises and activities of an employee’s work. OSHA and other agencies lay out guidelines for safety training, equipment, and standards to help in this capacity. Unfortunately, lax safety protocols, lapses in inspections, improperly trained employees, co-worker negligence, defective equipment, or poorly maintained machinery can all result in catastrophe. A Bureau of Labor Statistics Report for recent years shows the following as the most common causes of death and serious injury on the job:

Transportation accidents
Falls
Exposure to Harmful Substances and Environments
Violence and Animal Attacks
Contact with Objects and Equipment
Fires and Explosions

Insurance company denying your workplace injury claim?

Part of ensuring that a plaintiff receives a just settlement for all damages is doing a thorough investigation to determine sources of liability. Our workplace injury attorney enlists the help of specialists and experts to prove who was at fault for what happened—it may be that multiple parties share liability. A workers’ compensation insurance company or other insurer may try to deny fault and blame fault on something else or even the worker. We work hard so our investigation procedure leaves no room for trying to shift responsibility. It is not uncommon for insurers to reconsider their position and offer a more appropriate settlement when Presley & Presley come to the negotiation table.
