Protecting Your Rights After a Workplace or Retail Accident
Workplace and retail environments are meant to be safe spaces, but accidents can and do happen. Whether you’re injured on the job or while shopping, these incidents can leave you with lasting physical injuries, emotional stress, and financial challenges. From unsafe working conditions to poorly maintained retail premises, negligence is often the root cause of these accidents. At Lach Injury Law, our experienced attorneys are dedicated to helping you secure the compensation you need to recover and move forward.
Common Causes of Workplace & Retail Injuries
Workplace and retail injuries can occur in a variety of ways, often due to negligence or failure to follow safety regulations. Common causes include:
- Slip and Falls: Wet floors, uneven surfaces, and cluttered aisles in retail spaces or workplaces can lead to serious injuries.
- Falling Objects: Poorly secured shelves or overhead equipment can result in objects falling and causing harm.
- Defective Equipment: Faulty tools, machinery, or store fixtures can pose significant risks.
- Unsafe Working Conditions: Lack of proper training, failure to provide safety gear, or exposure to hazardous materials can lead to workplace accidents.
- Inadequate Maintenance: Negligence in repairing or maintaining facilities can create dangerous environments for employees and customers alike.
If you’ve suffered an injury due to these or similar hazards, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages.
Understanding Your Legal Rights
Workplace and retail injury claims can be complex, often involving multiple parties such as employers, property owners, and insurance companies. Depending on the circumstances, your case may fall under workers’ compensation, premises liability, or both.
- Workers’ Compensation Claims: If you are injured while performing your job duties, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. These can include coverage for medical expenses, lost wages, and disability benefits.
- Premises Liability Claims: Injuries sustained in a retail setting or as a non-employee in a workplace may allow you to file a premises liability claim, holding the property owner or manager accountable for unsafe conditions.
At Lach Injury Law, we thoroughly investigate your case to determine the best course of action, ensuring that every responsible party is held accountable.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
Whether your injury occurred at work or in a retail environment, you may be entitled to recover a variety of damages, including:
- Medical Expenses: Immediate and long-term care, rehabilitation, and therapy.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work due to your injury.
- Future Earnings: If your injury impacts your ability to work, you may recover damages for lost earning potential.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
- Other Expenses: Out-of-pocket costs such as transportation to medical appointments or modifications to your home to accommodate a disability.
