More
than 1 out of 12 American workers report
job related injuries. Our experience has
been that major defects or unsafe acts or
conditions are often to blame. Dont
be another statistic.
Keep
the workplace safe, but if you have been
injured, you may need advice from a
competent professional. Our extensive
experience in the area of accident
analysis can secure you the proper legal
advice during your time of recovery.
As
with any accident, detail the event as
much as possible. Photograph any
important elements. Record any equipment
model and serial numbers before the
device is altered or relocated to another
site and is no longer available.
Witnesses can also be an essential part
of any settlement. Get names and phone
numbers as soon as possible. Save all
correspondences.
Be
able to answer the following questions,
Did my company have adequate
written training and safety procedures?
Was I adequately trained? Were my actions
reasonable? Retrieve copies of all
safety and training documents. Many
companies have inadequate written safety
procedures while some have none at all!
Collect and preserve copies of all
training and safety manuals.
We've
provided "useful links" to
assist you in gathering helpful
information. For example, labor.state.nv.us is the
Nevada Department of Labor, which
contains labor laws and provides
frequently requested forms. detr.state.nv.us is the

Training and Rehabilitation. All of the
services provided to assist you at your
fingertips.
