Small Buildings May Not Require Fire Alarm Systems

On July 6, 2011 Colleen Paradine died when a fire broke out at a Casey's store in La Porte City, Iowa. The Iowa Division of Labor issued a citation and in it fined Casey's $4,500. That citation was resolved favorably for Casey's and this is one of those cases that demonstrate why employers who are fined should hire one of the firms downtown that handle these types of issues. Unfortunately for Casey's the resolution of the OSHA fine will not resolve any personal injury claims or the workers' compensation claims the estate or dependents may have. The question remains how the fire started and why couldn't the worker safely escape? Report by KCRG.

After a worker is injured is when they need the support of their employer the most. But injured workers aren't given a level playing field. The company doctor often times is not helping them and the case manager isn't either. The worker is left alone to fend for themselves and to make mistakes that result in lower benefits or fewer weeks of benefits. Some are sent back to work too soon. There is only one person on your side and that understands this system. If your lawyer doesn't understand the nature of this claim you've got the wrong lawyer. Steve Lombardi has practiced in the area of workers compensation for over 30 years. He's tried hundreds of cases for more than one thousand clients.
