Oregon Construction and Workplace Accident Claims Attorneys
Workers' compensation is a well-known remedy when a workplace accident occurs. However, when an employer ignores the most basic standards of safety, they can be held liable through the Employer's Liability Law (ELL).
At Martin L. Alvey, P.C., our personal injury lawyers provide one-on-one advocacy for our clients, securing the facts of their claim and assessing whether the events require a workers' comp or an ELL claim.
Do not rely on your employer to be aware of the Employer's Liability Law. Nor can you count on them to apply it properly to the injuries you suffered following a workplace accident. Contact our knowledgeable personal injury attorneys at our Portland or Astoria office by calling 503-928-3848 or toll free at 866-509-3516.
Holding Employers Accountable for ELL Violations
The ELL mandates that companies (including general contractors and subcontractors use everything at their disposal to ensure protection of their workers performing their job in dangerous settings. Safety devices must be provided. Precautions must be taken. When an ELL violation occurs, an employee could be injured and possible pursue damages against his employer on top of workers' compensation benefits. Common ELL violations include:
- OSHA violations
- Safety harness violations
- Manlift, scaffolding, roof and crane violations
- Falls from dangerous heights
- Fuel errors and gas leaks
- Explosions
