Workplace Injuries

Certain industries such as natural resources and mining; and trade, transportation and utilities pose dangerous risks to workers. Jobs with high risks must meet certain safety requirements and provide workers with proper training, up-to-date equipment and the right protective gear to ensure a safe work environment.

When a worker is injured on the job, he or she may be eligible to pursue financial compensation from his/her employer and anyone else who is responsible. If you or a loved one is injured while at work, Wyoming personal injury lawyer Frederick Harrison can help you recover compensation for your medical bills, lost earnings if you are unable to work, disability, future losses and pain and suffering. To discuss your claim, contact our law office today.

Anyone in any industry can suffer injuries at work. But, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the following industries have the highest amount of work-related fatalities each year in Wyoming:

  • Goods producing
  • Service industry
  • Trade, transportation and utilities
  • Natural resources and mining
  • Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting
  • Construction
  • Transportation and warehousing

Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)

We have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the laws set forth by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and will make sure your rights are fully protected if your employer fails to meet certain standards of care.

  • Setting and enforcing certain safety standards
  • Providing adequate training, outreach, education and support for all employees
  • Keeping the workplace free of hazards

If you are injured in an accident at work, you may not even be aware that your employer is a fault.
