Office workers are not immune to work-related injuries

Diefer Law Group
Office workers are not immune to work related injuries

Sexual harassment continues to be a problem in many workplaces in California and across the country. The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing clearly defines sexual harassment, which essentially includes someone making unwanted sexual advances or requests for sexual favors in return for career advancement or some other reward. No matter the particulars, sexual harassment is illegal, and employers should have a plan in place to deal with such issues. Part of that plan includes training all company employees from the top down on sexual harassment and prevention.

If you are a California office worker and you suffer an injury while doing your job, you have the right to certain types of financial support and assistance. This is also the case if you become ill as a result of your job, or a preexisting condition you had becomes worse as a result of your job. Workers’ compensation benefits are available to office workers and many other types of employees suffering from work-related injuries.

 

Hazards you could face in your office

Your office may not seem like a dangerous place, and you may not see how your everyday tasks could be placing you at risk. It may be helpful for you to learn about the specific types of hazards commonly seen by office workers, which include the following:

  • Physical safety hazards — These include things like tripping hazards, faulty electrical components, unsafe stairs and other issues that could lead to accidents.
  • Biological safety hazards — Mold, sickness and other types of biological factors could lead to sickness for those who work in offices.
  • Ergonomic safety hazards — These injuries are often the result of doing the same tasks again and again, such as typing, sitting at a desk and more.

 

If your physical well-being suffered because of the hazards present in your place of work, you do not have to stay silent. It is in your interests to learn about the specific legal options that could be available to you, including a possible workers’ compensation claim.

Seeking the best outcome in your case

When pursuing a workers’ compensation claim, quick action is important. It may be beneficial for you to first seek an understanding of your legal options and the specific types of support that could be available to you. Through your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance, you may be able to claim benefits and the support that you require to get better and move forward after a workplace accident.

Attorney Abel Fernandez believes in the aggressive representation of injured workers. Workers’ compensation law is a very difficult and frustrating area of the law. Employees routinely have medical treatment and benefits delayed or denied by insurance companies. Mr. Fernandez fights for the rights of the injured worker to get medical treatment and the maximum amount of benefits possible. We have experience fighting the insurance company and adjusters, and we are committed to obtaining the best outcome possible for our clients.
