Common Causes of Workplace Accidents
Workplace injuries can arise from various factors, depending on the nature of the work environment and job activities. A workplace’s safety can range from relatively harmless to extremely dangerous. While there are numerous ways injuries can occur on the job, certain tasks often lack adequate safety measures, leading to frequent and serious accidents.
Our workers compensation lawyers can provide legal support for any kind of workplace injury, including those caused by:
- Overexertion and exhaustion, particularly when employees lack sufficient breaks and rest periods.
- Slips, trips, and falls, resulting from hazardous work conditions or faulty equipment.
- Cuts and wounds due to malfunctioning machinery.
- Long-term illnesses or diseases caused by exposure to toxic materials at the work site.
- Inadequate training or missing resources, often due to management’s cost-cutting measures.
Understanding the Terms of Workers’ Compensation
Many people are unaware of what damages are covered in the state of Georgia under workers’ compensation until they have already been injured for some time. Understandably, no one expects the worst to happen, and in the days immediately following the accident, the victims are too exhausted and overwhelmed from surviving their ordeal to think about making a claim.
The problem is that according to the state of Georgia’s workers’ compensation laws, failing to report a job-related accident within 30 days can result in you losing your right to receive benefits. Even if you report your accident, failing to fill out your WC-14 Form within a year to the State Board of Workers’ Compensation can also deprive you of your deserved compensation. While we understand that you will be reeling in pain and exhaustion from your injury, it is critical to let our team begin the investigation to get the necessary help for recovering after a workplace incident.
Seeking Fair Compensation for Your Work-Related Injuries
Unexpected or unnoticed injuries at work do not relieve the employer of responsibility. As the business owner, the employer is generally liable for accidents that happen in the workplace. Employees might fear retaliation for filing a compensation claim, but it’s essential not to let your employer intimidate you into silence.
If you or a loved one has suffered or is suffering from a work accident or occupational disease, our workplace injury attorneys in Atlanta are here to help you understand your rights and ensure you claim the compensation you are entitled to.
