OSHA Violations & Workplace Injuries

Some work environments are more dangerous than others. Factories, industrial facilities, and construction sites are some of the most dangerous workplaces in the nation. To protect workers from preventable injuries and fatalities, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) upholds a strict standard of safety for employers.

Some workplaces aren't up to OSHA standards, which poses a serious threat to workers' safety. According to research, hundreds of employees suffer serious, on-the-job injuries every year. If you suffered an injury or the loss of a loved one in an avoidable workplace accident, you can fight for financial compensation to cover you medical expenses and more.
