Despite increased regulation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), construction workers continue to suffer catastrophic injuries and death. Defective and improperly assembled scaffolding, poor safety equipment and training, improperly maintained and unsafe operation of heavy equipment are some of the many hazards construction workers face on a daily basis.
Oregon’s Employer Liability Law (ELL) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are intended to protect construction workers. Oregon’s Employer Liability Law requires Oregon companies engaged in construction work involving risk and danger to utilize every device, care and precaution feasible in the workplace to prevent injury.
Attorneys in our firm handle ELL and other claims for workers injury due to the fault of others in Oregon and Washington.
