Santa Ana Unsafe Work Conditions Attorney

With the current economic landscape, many employers are pushing workers to work faster, harder and under grueling conditions. Many employers can and do go so far as to cut corners in safety to benefit the bottom line. The inevitable consequence of such measures is a rise in the likelihood of injury.

Legally speaking, every employer in California is required to provide a safe and healthy place of work for all employees. California law also forces employers to prohibit employees from

• Entering into unsafe workplaces related to their employment
• Engaging in any employment-related actions that are harmful and unsafe

If you or someone close has been injured due to unsafe work conditions, you may be entitled to substantial benefits under workers’ compensation. Securing these benefits is frequently complex. This is particularly true with accidents caused by an unsafe workplace. As such, a skilled lawyer is almost always an ideal asset.
