Our workplace is our home away from home. It’s where we spend 40 hours a week with coworkers to earn a livelihood and to forge professional friendships. We would all like to imagine that the place we work is a safe refuge from severe physical injury. Regrettably this isn’t always the case. Work-related injuries are the result of accidents in most cases. However, you could be eligible for a workers’ compensation claim if the injury was due to employer negligence. Serious injury can result in lost work wages, hospital expenses, and physical and emotional suffering. The attorneys at Mann Wyatt Tanksley Injury Attorneys have considerable experience in dealing with workers’ comp cases in communities across Kansas, including McPherson and neighboring regions. Let’s look closer at this case-type and see if you qualify.
When no precautions were taken to prevent injury, or if you were deliberately placed in an unsafe work environment, then this is a case of employer negligence. The U.S. Department of Labor published some alarming 2012 statistics that show over 50% of the 3 million workplace injuries were the result serious accidents. The injured employees missed significant time away from work, and/or were restricted in mobility so much that it affected their job performance. This data grimly shows that because of the regularity of serious workplace injuries, there is a tremendous need for attorneys who specialize in workers’ compensation. Surprisingly, Mann Wyatt Tanksley Injury Attorneys is one of the few firms to handle such cases, as a very small number of attorneys in Kansas handle workers’ comp claims.
