Get Money You Deserve After Workplace Shootings With Glendale Lawyers

Going to work can be a risky business these days, as evidence shows that there has been a significant spike in workplace homicides, and this is particularly true where there is interaction with the public. Robberies and workplace violence account for more than 500 deaths a year, and robbery related deaths are one of the leading causes of death for those working in retail. In general, if you work with the general public you face a homicide risk which is almost 7 times as high as for those in other businesses. In a situation where you have experienced the danger of workplace shootings in Glendale, you might be eligible for workers compensation due to fear and suffering which has led to increased risk of damage to your health.

Workplace Shootings Can Affect Your Health

You don’t have to be directly injured by gunfire in order to be affected by the danger of a workplace shooting. The injuries involved with shooting in a workplace don’t have to be physical, and in fact observing an accident or workplace shooting can lead you to develop psychological damage which can affect your life as much as a gunshot wound. As recently as 2017, workers who witnessed a shooting in the workplace in Tennessee were granted workers compensation after the developed PTSD and became considerably disabled as a result. Difficulty sleeping, poor concentration or attention and intrusive memories may all be serious side effects of experiencing shooting, particularly where a familiar colleague work associate has been killed.

Making A Claim For Compensation

In this situation, it may be impossible for you to attempt to work again while you are struggling with psychological impairment.
