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.
