Employee At Cheese Factory Rushed To Hospital With Serious Injuries

Food is essential for life and when shopping at the local market or grocery store, it's easy to forget how much hard work is put into making each delicious option.

Cheese Company Employee Injured On The Job

In order to make large batches of food, company owners typically purchase heavy machinery that can mix, cut, and press their product. While these machines are extremely helpful, they can also be extremely dangerous, especially if an employee gets pulled into the gears or blades.

Just recently, an employee at a company which creates various cheese products, was rushed to the hospital after he caught his hand and arm in a dough machine. Although his injuries were not life threatening, if he is unable to regain the use of his hand or arm, it could be career ending.

Food Workers Can File For Workers' Comp & Disability Benefits

This injured worker will likely require thousands of dollars in medical care but he does have the ability to file for workers' compensation, which is "no-fault" insurance designed to cover the medical expenses of anyone who is hurt on the job. Sadly, even though the insurance is no-fault, coverage is not guaranteed.

Insurance companies deny the majority of claims that they receive in order to save the company money. While these denials can be appealed, it takes time and often, legal help.

In addition to being able to file for workers' compensation, if his injury is permanently disabled and he is unable to return to work, he can file for Social Security Disability Benefits. These benefits will help to cover future expenses. However, these benefits are even more difficult to obtain than workers' comp and there are so many appeals that the wait for a hearing is almost two years.

In both instances, working with an attorney who is familiar with all of the necessary forms and the application process is the best way to ensure that either of these claims will be accepted from the initial application.

Fort Drum Mechanic Injured In A Fire

In mid-October, emergency responders were called to loading docks near a store in Fort Drum to assist a maintenance mechanic who was working on a circuit panel.

Worker Airlifted To The Hospital

At around 8 a.m. while working on the panel, something went horrible wrong and the panel burst into flames. The flames spread to the mechanic and he sustained serious burns. The decision was made to airlift him to the hospital for treatment. There has been no update regarding his condition.

Burns: One Of The Worst Injuries

Burns are one of the most painful and debilitating injuries that any worker can sustain. As most people know, burns can be:

1. 1st-Degree
2. 2nd-Degree
3. 3rd-Degree


What isn't commonly known is that there are actually 4th-Degree burns that extend so far below the skin's surface that even the bones can be burned. In most cases, if the burn is on a limb, the limb must be amputated.

Skin and muscle that has been burned can require more than a year of treatment and often the patient is required to stay in the hospital while they undergo extensive surgeries and skin grafts. In many cases, secondary medical conditions such as serious infections are developed, slowing the healing process and even putting the patient's life in danger.

The good news is that this worker should be covered through workers' compensation which will pay for his medical treatments and a portion of his lost wages. Although this won't change the physical and emotional trauma he has suffered, it will go a long way to make sure that he is able to remain financially stable.

The bad news is that workers compensation claims are denied regularly by adjusters who have been trained to save the insurance company money. But help is available and our workers' compensation attorneys are dedicated, passionate, and ready to assist throughout the workers' comp process.

Scaffolding Accidents Hurt 5000 Each Year

It's undeniable that architecture has created some of the most man made beautiful structures on the planet, from soaring cathedrals to the tallest building in the world. During both the initial building process and later, if parts of the building need to be repaired or restored, it's common for those passing by to see construction workers making use of scaffolding to help them reach the necessary height. But working at heights is risky and becomes even more dangerous when the scaffolding isn't safe.

Common Scaffolding Accidents

The top causes of scaffolding accidents involve:

Improper Construction

Gaps in the boards being walked on, a failure to rig the scaffolding to the building, and loose safety railings are all examples of issues that may occur when the scaffolding is being built. OSHA has strict requirements that must be followed when putting up scaffolding but many owners and managers rush the process which results in mistakes.

Inadequate Maintenance

Scaffolding is left open to the elements for extended periods of time and parts break down or fall off. It's important to fix these issues before an accident happens.

Lack Of Fall Protection 

Depending on the scaffolding and the height, railings must be installed and in some cases, workers must wear addition safety gear like a harness in case they fall.

The bottom line is that if a scaffolding accident occurs, workers are hurt and often seriously. In fact, according to OSHA, nearly 5,000 workers are hurt in scaffolding accidents each year. These workers may be able to obtain workers' compensation but the process of obtaining these payments can be quite difficult.

The Dangers Of Workers' Compensation Fraud

We live in a dangerous world, and threats oftentimes come from the workplace where we spend the bulk of our time which is why it is necessary to be covered for workers' compensation benefits should dangers arise.

Workers' comp is a vital social safety net protecting workers for everything from unsafe working conditions to repetitive stress disorders to simple slip and fall accidents. However, there are false claims that present a number of dangers that include weakening faith in the system, driving up business costs, as well as legal and financial penalties should the fraud be revealed.

What Is Workers Comp Fraud?

Workers compensation fraud comes in many guises, but at the heart of the fraud is a misrepresentation of injuries and medical conditions designed with the intent of something for nothing. While we tend to think of the unscrupulous worker unwilling to work being at the heart of workers' compensation fraud cases, the reality is quite different.

According to the New York State Workers Compensation Board, fraud claims can include:

• Fraud by individual workers
• Fraud by employers seeking to avoid paying 
• Fraud by professionals, like doctors, and lawyers, seeking to facilitate workers' compensation fraud
• Fraud by government workers

A recent 2017 fraud case emanating from California witnessed a complex scheme orchestrated by more than two dozen doctors, several pharmaceuticals, and business leaders to milk the system of more than $40 million. What would compel people to take that risk?

Workers' Compensation Fraud Penalties

While it might be tempting at the time to commit fraud with your workers' compensation, there are penalties when you are caught. Some of those penalties depending on the severity of the fraud committed and the overall financial impact can include:

• Fines for minor cases
• Close to a year in jail for misdemeanor convictions 
• Up to thirty years in jail for felony convictions

It is not worth it committing workers' compensation. It is always advisable to go through the proper legal channels to get help for your workers' compensation benefits.

Older Workers Facing More Workplace Accidents

Fewer and fewer people in the United States can afford to retire. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' Census for Fatal Occupational Injuries gathers annual statistics from the American Community Survey which compiles data relevant to the American workforce. They have found a 37 percent increase in workers who are 55 and over, while the total labor population has only grown by six percent. Unfortunately, the increase in the over 55 labor population, also comes along with a rising death toll for the older workers.

The Consequences of Not Being Able to Retire

The same statistics have also revealed that older workers are more likely to die in a work-related accident than all other laborers. In 2015, an estimated 35 percent of accidents in the work place included a death of an employee over the age of 55. In contrast, the statistics reveal that while older employees are more likely to be involved in a fatal work place accident, overall fatalities have decreased.

2006: 5480 work place fatality rate for all laborers.
2015: 4836 work related deaths, resulting in a 22 percent drop in work related fatalities.
2006-2015: the fatality rates among workers over the age of 55 varied from 50 to 65 percent throughout the study.
1681 work related deaths among older workers in 2015.

The study also examined the circumstances of work-related fatalities of workers and how often they happened during 2011 and 2015. The census stated that deaths connected with the employee falling rose by 20 percent. Deaths connected to work related to tools and equipment increased by 17 percent and transportation fatalities climbed by 15 percent.

Why Are Workers Over 55 more Susceptible to Injury at Work?

Medical professionals believe the aging process may contribute to the risk of dying at work. The body experiences changes during the aging that make the person more susceptible to a work related accident. The damage to the body may be more severe, resulting in a higher number of work related fatalities. Older workers may suffer from chronic illnesses, slowing reflexes, sight or hearing loss and mobility issues that put them in danger of a work place accident or fatality.

It's clear that the rising cost of living in the United States is forcing older people to put off retirement as long as possible. The consequences of this reality is that these elders are also at risk of a serious, even fatal work place accident.

What Treatments Are Covered by Worker's Compensation?

If you are injured at work and need to recover, it is important to know if your treatment will be covered. For workers' compensation, your medical treatment will be covered, provided it is cleared by your health care practitioner and necessary for your work-related injury or illness.

Tests Usually Covered by Workers Compensation

X-Rays
MRI's
CT Scans
Ultrasounds

Note: These tests are covered if they are usable for your diagnosis

Any medical bills that aid in the treatment and recovery from your workplace injury are also covered by your workers' compensation insurance. Any medications, doctors visits, surgeries, emergency room visits and hospitalizations will be covered too. If you require something like a leg brace or wheelchair, those are also covered. Transportation costs may also be covered by workers' comp.

Physical rehabilitation from your work related injury is also covered. Any physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage therapy, or chiropractic work fall into these rehab covered costs. Some states do have limitations on a number of therapy visits that workers 'comp will cover.

So, let's say your work injury keeps you from going back to the same type of work. Certain states will give you vocational rehabilitation benefits. These include things such as job training and counseling, so you'll be able to find suitable work again in the future. Some states refer to these services as "supplemental job displacement" benefits. These benefits can help you with any education, training, certifications or even computer equipment that you might need to find work.

Treatments That Worker's Comp Doesn't Usually Cover

Experimental treatments and medications are not usually covered by workers' comp insurance. Treatments that are deemed alternative are also not covered. Alternative treatments include acupuncture, homeopathy, and Ayurvedic medicine, among others. Please note that coverage for these treatments is covered in some states.

Any treatments that are not needed as deemed by your doctor will not be covered. Your worker's comp insurance company will not cover any treatments that are unrelated to your workplace injury.

How Do You Get Death Benefits For A Lost Loved One?

Losing a loved is one of the most difficult things you will ever experience in your life. When you know that someone else is responsible for that loss, it can become even harder to accept. That's why it's so important to know where your rights are and what you can do to attempt to be made whole again. While nothing can bring your loved one back, there are ways that you can make those responsible for the loss also responsible for providing financial compensation.

Getting The Benefits You Deserve

When you lose a loved one due to workplace neglect or dangerous situations you can be eligible for worker's compensation. Worker's comp is required when a workplace is responsible for the injury or death of anyone who works there. When someone dies as a result of improper situations at a workplace their relatives are able to sue the company to get their worker's compensation. You may also be eligible for additional death benefits for your loved one such as social security.

It starts with seeking out a lawyer who can help you with reporting to the Social Security Administration that the individual has died. According to The DisabilityGuys.com an attorney is essential to help you through each step of the claims process that can prove complicated.

For any death, the SSA will help you figure out what you're entitled to based solely on the loss of the individual. A lawyer will help you figure out if you're entitled to something else as a result of wrongful death.

You could be eligible for a number of different types of benefits:

• Social Security
• Worker's Compensation
• Pain and Suffering
• Wrongful Death Compensation

Contacting a lawyer will allow you to provide all of the information about the loss and then you will be able to find out more about who is responsible (if anyone) and what you should do to proceed with a case if there is one. We can let you know what your next steps should be and help you continue on with your life.

OSHA Workplace Investigation Procedures

In 1970 the Occupational Safety and Health Act was passed. This Act would protect workers from being killed or seriously injured on the job. OSHA was created to work with employers and employees by setting and enforcing health and safety laws within the workplace, keeping managers accountable for creating a safe and secure work environment.

Who Conducts The Accident Report?

Investigation of a workplace incident is usually carried out by a supervisor of the company where the accident occurred, however; OSHA encourages managers and employees to get involved in helping with the investigation.

The internal investigation of these incidents will make them aware of any hazards and address those hazards immediately to prevent future injuries and allows them to identify deficiencies in their health and safety procedures.

OSHA Investigation Steps

When an incident happens in the workplace, or even if it is a narrow escape, it is important that you let your supervisor or manager know right away. When your manager or supervisor finds out about the incident, they should immediately secure the area where the accident took place. All information should be gathered and filled out on an Incident Investigation form found in a kit provided by OSHA.

Once the site is secured, then the employer will look at the event area and begin to take notes and take pictures. The investigator is not seeking to point the finger at you, but they are looking for the exact cause of the incident. Identifying the cause is important so that it can be addressed to prevent future mishaps.

The Investigator now conducts interviews and will ask you questions about the incident, asking for the full account of the incident. The Investigator will interview co-workers, supervisors, and anyone else who might be a witness to the incident.

Once all the notes, interviews and pictures are complete, the investigator will fill out an incident report provided by OSHA and then look to see what needs to be changed in the workplace and make the necessary modifications also reporting the changes made.

OSHA expects employers to keep good records of all incidents reported in their place of business which will be a part of OSHA's inspections on the firm.

By conducting their own investigation, filling out reports which require action be taken to correct the deficiency. Employers are held accountable for providing a safe working environment which will not only save them time in the long run but money as well, cutting back on missed work and legal actions that can arise from and unsafe workplace.

What Is Workers' Compensation Fraud?

Workers' compensation fraud can be defined in many ways, from knowingly filing a fraudulent insurance claim against a company to understating payroll information for a lower premium. The specific details, costs, and punishments for committing workers' compensation fraud vary for each specific case. In order to be fully informed, be sure to consult an expert in the subject.

Types of Worker's Comp Fraud

Workers' compensation fraud can be committed by a variety of individuals and companies such as employees, large and small businesses, insurance companies and doctors. There are three types of workers' compensation fraud recognized by the New York State Office of the Inspector General and they are:

• Employer Fraud
• Employee Fraud 
• Health Care Provider Fraud

Common examples of fraudulent activity involving worker's compensation insurance include misrepresenting information about employees, billing or invoicing for treatments that were never received and employees exaggerating a medical condition.

Potential Penalties and Convictions

The penalties, convictions, and charges associated with workers' comp fraud vary depending on the circumstances surrounding the situation. In New York, the penalties for this crime are enforced by NY WKC Law Section 114 and can be imposed on employers, employees, insurance carriers and more. Those who intentionally misrepresent or deliberately make false statements in regards to workers' compensation insurance claims are at risk of being charged with a Class E Felony which can result in jail time, fines and/or restitution.

An expert on the topic is able to provide you with the necessary information and steps to take. In order to properly file a worker's compensation claim or to make a complaint against a company that you believe may be involved in the crime, it is best to consult with a professional before taking any action.

The Risks Associated With Being A Nurse

Nurses face numerous risks to their health and safety every day. Their job is much more dangerous than people realize. When nurses are injured, where can they turn to for help? Can they even file for worker's compensation given that they know the risks of their jobs and do them anyway? All of this and more is answered below.

The Risks Of The Job

Depending on what level of nursing you are at, you may be faced with very different risks. For example, a nursing assistant is often up to his/her elbows in urine, feces, vomit and potentially blood and sexual fluids because of the nature of his/her work.

A registered nurse faces the risks of a lot of blood contact, getting stuck with needles, combative behavior from patients that are high, drunk or suffering from dementia, and even slipping and falling in fluids and bits of bodily organs or flesh on the operating room or emergency room floor. All nurses are at risk of hurting their backs when they have to move heavy patients. In 2015 alone, 35,000 nurses injured their backs while trying to move heavy or obese patients.

Disability Claims and Worker's Compensation

Nurses are covered under worker's compensation, regardless of the risks of their work. TheDisabilityGuys.com states that all hospitals are required to have workers' compensation insurance. That means that if you are a nurse and you are injured on the job, you can file a worker's compensation claim. You have legitimate rights to do so under OSHA.

Disability claims operate a little differently, since you will have to show that you can no longer perform any aspects of your nursing job. Unfortunately, you can probably still do desk work and medication administration, which does not require much effort regardless of your injuries. If your injuries completely debilitate you (i.e., you are partially or totally paralyzed from a gun shot in the emergency room), then you have an official claim to full disability benefits for which you should not be denied.

What to Do If You Have Been Denied

If you were injured and your worker's comp claim and/or disability claim was denied, consult a disability and/or worker's compensation lawyer. He/she can assess your case and determine if you are indeed eligible for benefits. Don't let the fact that you are a nurse in a high-risk profession deter you from seeking help.

When Can You Appeal A Worker's Compensation Decision?

You may think that you have no rights when it comes to a denied worker's comp claim. Actually, that is not the case. Several worker's comp claims are denied every year, and not because the workers who filed the claims do not have a legitimate claim. The problem often lies with a lack of supporting evidence for your claim, or missing forms and documentation of what you and your employer have tried to do to help you remain gainfully employed after being injured. The following situations are all good reasons to appeal your first claim when you receive a "denied" decision.

You Did Not Get All of the Required Forms In On Time

There is a monumental amount of paperwork involved with the worker's compensation claim. There is also a deadline to file, so it is very easy to forget a number of documents. When you are denied because you missed one or more forms in a rush to get everything in, you should definitely appeal. For more information about the worker's compensation process and timeline go here. If you saved copies of everything from the last filing, all you have to do is copy those forms again, and include the forms that caused your claim to be denied.

You Are Clearly and Completely Unable To Work

The worker's comp decision makers cannot see that you are unable to work. They only see what is on paper and what you give them as documentation of the events that caused your injuries. Taking the case to court helps them see that you are unable to work and may not be able to work most jobs in any capacity ever again.

You Have Proof That Your Injuries Are Your Employer's Fault

Negligence is difficult to prove unless you have infallible proof that your employer is responsible for your injuries. Since worker's comp claim forms don't typically have a space to address these issues, the decision makers on high are unaware of any negligence on your employer's part unless you bring a lawsuit against them. Your evidence should be solid, and you can check with a worker's comp lawyer to make sure that it is.

3 Social Security Claims Myths

If you are considering submitting a social security claim, it is important to thoroughly conduct your research on the process beforehand. There are many myths surrounding this area. If you are feeling discouraged about filing a claim due to a rumor you heard about the process, knowing what is and what is not true can mean the difference between receiving the compensation that you deserve, and not.

1. Everyone will be Denied the First Time they Apply

This is not the case. There is no such formula in the Social Security Administration (SSA) that deems all first-time claims deniable. However, still about 70% of all claims will be denied the first time around. To get what you want, you must fight for it. The most successful way of being approved for your claim is to file an appeal and have your case heard by a judge.

2. Lawyers Need To Be Paid Upfront

If you think you cannot afford to file a disability claim due to lawyer fees, do not fret: lawyers who work on social security claims are paid only on a contingency basis. This means that the lawyer is only awarded payment if the claim is successful. The amount that your attorney collects depends on the individual lawyer, but generally they receive about 25% to 40% of your settlement or monthly benefits. If you are not approved, your lawyer will not be paid. Learn more about the benefits of legal representation here.

3. You Must be Disabled for One Year Before You May File for Disability

While it is not required that you wait one year before filing for a social security claim, it must be expected that your disability will last twelve months or more. You can apply after one year of being disabled and still be approved, but there is no reason to wait so long to be compensated. So, if your physical or mental condition prevents you from being able to work, it is best to file right away.
