    In each circumstance, any one of these workplace injuries can turn tragic and result in the death of a loved one due to an on-site accident. In such instances, your family may be eligible for death benefits or possibly be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

    Common Causes

    Workplace accidents occur for many different reasons. Some of the most common causes include:

    • Unsafe working conditions - From water on the floor to unmarked hazards, workplaces can be very dangerous.
    • Negligent business owners - Business owners have a legal obligation to make sure workplaces are clean, well-lighted places.
    • Defective equipment - Manufacturer errors or poor maintenance can result in equipment malfunctions which cause serious injuries.
    • Reckless co-workers - When people work too fast or don't follow safety guidelines, other workers can get seriously hurt.
    • Untrained workers - Companies have a responsibility to train workers and prevent workplace injuries.
    • Impaired co-workers - Workers under the influence of drugs or alcohol can easily cause serious injuries to co-workers.
    • Exposure to hazardous materials - Breathing hazardous chemicals, asbestos and other dangerous materials can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer.
    • Operator error - When workers make mistakes themselves, especially when operating heavy machinery, the consequences can be devastating.
    • Repetitive work - Warehouse, meat packing, factory and office workers are especially vulnerable to repetitive stress injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome, due to performing the same task at work, sometimes for hours a day for years.

    Remember, PA has a no-fault workers’ compensation system. Whatever type of workplace injury you’re dealing with, our law firm, located in Allentown and Bethlehem, can help you hold your employer accountable and fight for the compensation you rightfully deserve.
