Workplace injuries are more common than you may have thought. In 2014 alone, there were almost three million nonfatal injuries recorded at the workplace. Unfortunately, there are also several instances when a workplace accident can become fatal. If this happens, loved ones may require the assistance of a wrongful death lawyer.
There are certain professions that are recorded as being more prone to workplace accidents in the first place, such as logging workers, pilots, roofers, construction workers, electrical workers and truck drivers. Be it a slip and fall, an impact injury or something else, these professions are generally at higher risk for workplace injury.
Keep yourself and loved ones safe by being aware of common causes of fatal and nonfatal accidents alike.
