Moving, Falling Machinery, and Scaffold-Related Injuries

Dangerous Working Conditions

Construction sites and factories have the potential to be dangerous work environments. As such, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) safety regulations and other laws are in place to protect individuals working in these industries from hazards and other workplace injuries. However, when an employer or third party contractor neglects to abide by those regulations, serious and sometimes fatal accidents can occur--such as a falling into an unmarked hole, or being crushed by unsecured equipment or a work zone collapse.

At the law office of Brian G. Miller Co., L.P.A., we help injured workers secure fair and just recovery of medical costs, lost wages, physical and emotional pain and suffering, and any other losses or damages incurred as a result of the negligence or improper actions of a third party or one's employer. We also represent the families of fatal accident victims. Contact our Columbus, Ohio, law office to discuss the unique circumstances of your claim with a trusted, accomplished personal injury lawyer.

Attorney Brian G. Miller has been recognized for his success as a trial lawyer in employer intentional tort and third party workplace injury cases. He is familiar with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and other safety and building standards that protect employees.

Our firm is capable of handling complex moving, machinery, and falling accident cases, including those involving:

• Unmarked or unguarded holes
• Unsafe equipment
• Unsecured equipment that falls or tips over
• Negligent machinery maintenance
• Inadequate security of supplies
• Unsecured scaffolding
• Unsecured work areas

Many of the moving or falling accidents we handle deal with OSHA non-compliance or non-compliance with other safety standards. For example, a forklift in disrepair, or a machine with inadequate brakes or audible warning signals could result in catastrophic injuries to an employee who is operating the equipment at the command of an employer. We take an academic approach to our practice and believe that by maintaining a current, in-depth understanding of OSHA regulations, workers' compensation law, and personal injury law as it relates to injured workers' claims, we are able to provide clients with the knowledgeable legal guidance and the effective representation they need during this difficult time.

We are committed to providing each client with the time and attention his or her case needs and deserves. If you have been seriously injured in a moving, machinery, or falling accident, or if you have lost a family member in a work related wrongful death, contact our Central Ohio law office to discuss your legal options with a trusted, respected personal injury lawyer.
