Workplace Injury

In West Virginia, workplace injuries and workplace fatalities are a common occurrence. In fact, our state is one of the highest in the nation for work-related accidents. Depending on the severity of the injury and the nature of the accident, you may be able to bring a claim against your employer, in addition to collecting workers’ compensation benefits. The Beckley Injury Lawyers at Hewitt & Salvatore, PLLC represent injured workers, and family members of workers who lost their lives, against careless employers.

Recognizing Unsafe Working Conditions

While some Workers’ Compensation programs protect employers from employee lawsuits after injuries, in West Virginia, workers have the right to hold them financially accountable. Under these West Virginia statutes, an injured employee must be able to show that his or her employer intentionally exposed workers to an unreasonable hazard that could have been remedied.

There are many types of injuries that may warrant a claim against an employer’s unsafe work environment, including:
