Injury Type · Workplace Violence

Injuries caused by workplace violence.

Our workplaces should be safe. According to OSHA, nearly 2 million U.S. employees report experiencing workplace violence each year — and homicide remains one of the leading causes of fatal occupational injuries.

Multiple avenues of recovery.

Depending on what happened, you may have a number of different ways to recover. I can help you pursue claims:

  • Against the person who perpetrated the violence
  • Under workers' compensation laws
  • Against your employer for failing to protect you

Violence often leads to criminal investigations and charges — you may also be asked to testify in a criminal case. Having a lawyer in your corner makes the claims process easier and provides guidance if a criminal case is pursued.

Witnessing workplace violence

When violent actions occur at work, the impact often extends beyond the workers who are directly injured. Coworkers who have witnessed violent acts often experience stress, anxiety, and fear. If you are struggling with anxiety, fear, stress, or depression after witnessing violence at your workplace, you may also have a claim.

No out-of-pocket fees

I handle workplace violence cases that involve civil claims on a contingency-fee basis. For workers' compensation claims, I'm paid through a portion of your benefits once the claim resolves — never out of pocket.
