OSHA and Workers Compensation

There are rules in place to help workers avoid workplace injuries. For industrial equipment workers and construction workers as well as other employees, OSHA rules and workers compensation can be especially important. Occupations Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) is an organization overseeing workplace safety. The agency regulates who can use heavy machinery and how this type of heavy equipment is to be used and maintained. In many cases, accidents and injuries involving heavy machinery occur because OSHA regulations have been violated. If you have been injured because OSHA guidelines have not been followed, you may be able to take action against your employers or others who were responsible.

If you have been injured in the workplace, you are also protected by workers compensation in Miramar or your community. When you are a full-time employee your employer is required to cover you under workers compensation coverage. In the event that you are injured, this coverage is meant to help you recover money quickly for lost wages and medical expenses.

The problem with workers compensation, as many injured workers discover, is that it is intended to protect employers from liability. This means that once you accept workers compensation or other insurance money you may be signing away some rights to pursue your employer for negligence through a legal claim. However, workers compensation is unlikely to cover the full, long-term costs of a serious, permanent injury (which can total hundreds of thousands of dollars or more). For this reason, it is important to consult with a personal injury attorney quickly after your injury to get legal advice before you sign anything.
