Accidents in the workplace are a common occurrence and can result in serious injury and wrongful death. Brannon & Associates is dedicated to representing Ohio workers who have been injured on the job through no fault of their own. Injuries can occur in a variety of work environments from offices to construction sites. The laws setting forth your rights and obligations after a workplace accident can be complex and confusing. Our attorneys will explain your legal rights and work to ensure you receive maximum compensation for your injuries.
While employers are generally responsible for paying workers compensation to injured or the families of killed workers, third parties such as product manufactures, other employers, or other persons employed by the same entity can be held liable for acts of negligence. Brannon & Associates can provide answers to questions about potential third party liability above and beyond workers’ compensation. Often liability for workplace injuries can be linked to defective products, machine operators, maintenance companies, property owners, subcontractors and even intentional torts committed by the employer. These can all potentially provide additional sources of recovery above workers compensation.
Ohio employees are afforded protection under very specific safety and operation regulations at both the State and Federal levels. This includes but is not limited to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration Guidelines (OSHA) and the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). All employers are required to maintain a safe workplace, including working equipment, safety procedures and training. Unfortunately some employers are more concerned with profits than worker safety which can result in serious injury and death. When this happens we will take your case all the way to a jury verdict if necessary to hold employers responsible for their intentional misconduct.
Our firm’s knowledge and experience in workplace litigation is broad having handled many catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases for Ohio workers. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured while performing job related duties, Brannon & Associates may be able to help you obtain compensation from your employer of other negligent parties. The law sets time limits in which you can pursue a claim for your injuries, and once that time passes, your right to recover for your injuries will be lost.
