1
Document the Hazard & Any Injuries
Photograph unsafe conditions, preserve incident reports, and document any medical treatment sought. Written records made immediately after an incident or hazard discovery are critical to every claim that follows.
2
File an OSHA Complaint or Whistleblower Claim
Your attorney prepares and files an OSHA complaint to trigger an inspection, and — if you've faced retaliation — a whistleblower complaint with the Department of Labor within the required 30-day window.
3
Pursue Employer Liability & Compensation
Beyond workers' comp, your attorney evaluates all available legal remedies — including personal injury claims, third-party liability, and reinstatement or back pay for retaliation — to maximize your recovery.
