Sugar Land Workplace Accident Lawyer

SERVING HOUSTON & SURROUNDING AREAS

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 488 fatal occupational injuries in the State of Texas in a single year (2018). Workplace accidents can occur in any industry, but some of the most dangerous areas include construction sites, transportation, warehousing, mining, and manufacturing.

If you are injured in a workplace accident, you need legal representation. Workplace accidents can require complex litigation. In many cases, there may be multiple parties involved, you may need to subpoena safety records or internal documents, and there will likely have to be depositions taken. Without the help of an experienced Sugar Land Workplace Accident Attorney, you may not be getting the maximum recovery available in your case.

Common Causes of Workplace Injuries and Fatalities

According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the top causes of fatal workplace injuries are:

Transportation incidents
Violence and other injuries by persons or animals
Falls, slips, trips
Contact with objects and equipment
Exposure to harmful substances or environments
Fires and explosions

Many workplace accidents are entirely preventable. Too often, companies relax safety procedures, do not provide adequate training, or fail to supervise their employees, resulting in tragedy.

Preventing Workplace Injuries and Accidents

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was created by Congress “to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education, and assistance.”

According to OSHA, one of the fastest ways to reduce the number of workplace injuries and fatalities is by using safety precautions to prevent the fatal four construction hazards. OSHA’s fatal four hazards are:

Falls
Struck by
Caught-in/between
Electrocutions

Preventing these hazards is most easily done by adhering to safety standards set forth by OSHA and other regulatory agencies. Some suggestions for making worksites safer include: installing and maintaining perimeter protection to prevent falls, requiring workers to wear high-visibility clothes near equipment/vehicles, and maintaining a safe distance away from powerlines.

If you suspect that your employer violated OSHA requirements resulting in your injury, contact the Karam Law Office today.
