Thread: husband hurt at work and is proven to be works fault

my husband felled from 10ft while working for a major cable company. When he felled he landed on a mans tuck and his head went through the glass. his work put ice on his head and sent him back to work after being in pain he wnt to the er and found out that his desk in his neck has been hurt and might need surgery. It has been proven that the fall was their fault due to their set up. He now has lost all strenth in his left arm. he cant even open a pop. he no longer can do his job so they have him doing light duty which is very hard for him to even do but they made him sign a paper saying he has 90 days and if he cant go back to his hard labor job he will be fired and if he cant do his light duty job right now he will be fired. he has been told that he may never be able to go back to his old job. we are afraid of our future now. What can we do? this is their fault it happen in the first place.

As you said that it has been proven It has been proven that the fall was their fault due to their set up, then I think you are eligible for liability claim.

The key question in most work injury cases is whether the accident occurred while the injured worker was acting as an employee. If so, then the injury should be compensable unless there is some other basis for denying the claim. Every state has its own workers' comp laws, so please do not consider this post as legal advice. As a general rule, however, the employer's negligence or fault is irrelevant. If the injury happened at work, all necessary medical care should be covered, as well as compensation for time lost.

A claim for work injuries must usually be filed within strict time limits. Contact a licensed workers' compensation attorney in your state promptly.

Slip-and-fall accidents are the most common type of premises accidents, which are caused by owner or employee negligence. If you want to resolve things faster, you may consider Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) which includes arbitration, mediation, and an employment tribunal hearing. Talk with your lawyer and decide whether you would take the personal injury case to court, or you would resolve the dispute using one of the types of ADR.
