Weitz & Luxenberg wants to help you seek compensation for your work-related accident
The law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg wants to correct a misconception among the American workforce. Many people think work-related accidents are a concern for heavy industry trades at factories, warehouses, construction sites, and other jobs where physical effort is required. The fact is a work injury can occur anywhere, and at any time, when the conditions are met for catastrophe. All it takes is one slip, trip, cut, or faulty piece of machinery, and you can find yourself seriously injured.
Information about workplace injuries
A total of 4,340 fatal work injuries were recorded in the United States in 2009, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report, “National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries in 2009.” They record a shocking 3,277,700 nonfatal incidences – one injury for every 45 people in the American workforce today.
