Workplace Injuries
According to government statistics, nearly 3 million workers are injured on the job annually. About 5,000 workers are killed each year in workplace accidents, with more than 20 percent of those fatalities occurring in the construction industry alone. About 40% of all workplace fatalities involve transportation of some kind—typically a car or truck accident, or a mishap that occurs while moving materials on the job.
Some of the most common workplace hazards include:
- Chemicals
- Gas explosions
- Heat and burn risks
- Malfunctioning equipment
But an accident can happen in any workplace setting—even office workers can be seriously injured on the job.

The Workplace Injury Lawyers with Unmatched Experience
From analyzing evidence to selecting the most qualified safety and medical experts, Saltz Mongeluzzi Bendesky has mastered the difficult task of establishing a relationship between workplace conditions and the injuries that occur there. Working with independent experts, Saltz Mongeluzzi Bendesky attorneys thoroughly investigate such factors as:
- The worksite managers’ and plant owners’ prior knowledge of the hazardous conditions and their failure to correct or warn others about it.
- Adherence to federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and the safety and operating procedures of the defendant companies.
- Saltz Mongeluzzi Bendesky bolsters its cases with the innovative use of video brochures—mini-documentaries that powerfully illustrate our clients’ pain and suffering and include victim, family, witness, and expert interviews and excerpts from the defendants’ depositions.
Besides representing our injured clients, our lawyers have also been some of the leading advocates in the plaintiff’s bar for making sure U.S. workplace conditions are improved to ensure worker safety and reduce the number of future accidents.
