OSHA/ Workplace Safety
Morrow & Meyer LLC maintains a nationwide practice in the area of OSHA compliance and workplace safety litigation. A catastrophic workplace accident can result in extensive employer liability on at least three fronts: (1) OSHA citations; (2) an expensive workers’ compensation and VSSR claim; and (3) civil liability in the form of an intentional tort or negligence lawsuit.
In our experience, employers are best able to contain and limit their liability exposure by immediately involving experienced legal counsel and safety professionals in the accident investigation process. At Morrow & Meyer LLC, we take an active role in directing the accident investigation. Our clients benefit from the protection of the attorney-client privilege as well as the wisdom and experience of attorneys who have assisted employers in more than one hundred fatal and multi-fatal workplace accidents. Simply put: We recognize the pitfalls and know how to avoid them.
