Workplace Safety
Experienced Workplace Safety Lawyers in Portsmouth
Too often, workers are injured or killed because of accidents that resulted from OSHA violations and other workplace safety violations on construction sites and other worksites. In many cases, the employer knew or should have known about the safety violations. Had they taken measures to correct the problem, serious injuries and fatalities could have been avoided.
At Sherman Law, PLLC, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, we pursue accountability in personal injury and wrongful death cases which arise from workplace safety violations.
Common workplace safety violations on construction sites and other worksites include:
- Failure to provide adequate fall protection on roofs or scaffolding
- Broken, malfunctioning or inadequate safety guardrails on scaffolding
- Inadequate head protection
- Inadequate barriers/unprotected sides and edges when working on heights
- Inadequate on-the-job safety training
- Unsafe handling or storing of electrical cords
- Other worksite hazards
Sherman Law, PLLC, has extensive experience defending clients in OSHA violation cases. This experience enables the firm to know what to expect and how to effectively prepare a solid claim on behalf of injured clients and their families.
Our skilled lawyer represents clients who have suffered brain injuries, amputations, electrical shock or electrocution, back or neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other serious injuries or fatal injuries as a result of negligence or carelessness in the workplace.
Other Workplace Safety Violations
In addition to handling personal injury claims arising from construction site accidents, we investigate personal injury claims involving workplace safety issues in a number of other work-related accidents and injuries. Our experience enables us to represent workers in cases related to:
- Electrical accidents: including construction workers injured due to electrical safety violations, and cases in which clients were injured when tripping over exposed electrical wires, when splicing cords or wires, or when working with shorted circuits.
- Offshore injuries: including workers who have been injured due to workplace safety violations on offshore rigs, lobster boats or ports.
