Each year thousands of employees are injured at worksites across the United States. While some industries carry a higher risk than others, a worker can be hurt anywhere at any time due to carelessness or employer negligence. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), there is an average of 14 people killed every day on the job. Many workplace accidents and injuries are caused by a failure to adhere to safety standards required by OSHA and other regulatory agencies.
If you are injured in a workplace accident, you need an attorney that will get you the maximum recovery allowed by law. When a workplace is unsafe, or someone is injured because of employer negligence, they deserve compensation for their damages. Frustratingly, most workplace accidents are entirely preventable. Hundreds of lives could be saved every year if employers would follow safety standards and eliminate hazards.
As an employee, you are entitled to work in a safe environment, be provided with adequate training, and work on machines that function correctly. An employer must supply you with safety equipment and must protect you from known hazards. If you were injured at work, contact Ajlouny Injury Law today to speak directly with an attorney. We will fight to protect your rights and recovery. Talk to an attorney today by calling (718) 233-3913 or texting (516) 410-4090.

Workplace Accident Statistics
There were 5,250 American workers killed on the job in 2018, as noted by OSHA. Over 20 percent of worker fatalities occurred in the construction industry. Most deaths are caused by Construction's "Fatal Four." The Fatal Four noted by OSHA are:
-Falls
-Struck by object
-Electrocutions
-Caught-in/between
The most frequently cited OSHA standards violations include construction industry - fall protection codes, general industry – hazard communication standards, construction industry – general scaffolding requirements, and general industry - respiratory protection. OSHA estimates that over half of the construction worker deaths could be prevented by adhering to the safety guidelines related to the fatal four.
As shown in the most recent data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were 73 fatal work injuries in New York City in 2018. The highest number of workplace fatalities occurred in the private construction industry sector.
The National Safety Council estimates that a worker is injured on the job every seven (7) seconds. Workplace injuries can happen in any industry, including "desk jobs," such as professional and business services and educational and health services. Millions of workers receive medical treatment or consultation for their injuries every year. Workplace injuries cost billions of dollars each year in “wage and productivity losses, medical expenses, administrative expenses, motor-vehicle property damage, and employer costs.”
