OSHA May Levy Fines Following A Workplace Fall From Ladder Or Scaffold

Millions of employees get injured at the workplace. Thousands of these cases involve serious injuries and even death. Injury at work can result in serious consequences, leaving you impaired from working for weeks, months or even years. Employees who are injured at the workplace are entitled to compensation for their injuries, and in death cases the families are entitled to compensation. In some cases, someone other than the employer may be responsible for the accident, which means you might be able to pursue compensation beyond the money that you are entitled to receive under the regular workers comp claim.
