When the rules are not followed on or near an industrial work site, people get hurt. At Goldberg & Rosen, our personal injury lawyers in Miami fight to protect workers and contractors against the country’s largest and most powerful corporations, ensuring injured workers are fully and fairly compensated for their damages.
Falling objects, exposure to toxic fumes, improperly maintained machinery, and dangerously slick floors comprise just a few of the many reasons industrial and work-related accidents lead to serious employee injuries. Though the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) forced employers to improve their working conditions or face steep fines, many factories, refineries, foundries, and other industrial environments continue to operate with a blatant disregard for the rules outlining this important act.
Non-union companies especially may take advantage of employers who are afraid to speak up about dangerous working conditions for fear of losing their jobs. Because they don’t want to spend the extra money to replace hazardous, outdated machines, perform various repairs, or inform employees of the dangers regarding certain chemicals, these companies put employees at a high risk for debilitating injuries such as head trauma, chemical burns, respiratory distress, spine and neck fractures, and accidents associated with construction site risks.
