St. Charles & Kane County Employment Law Attorneys

At work is where most Americans spend the majority of their day. Working conditions have an enormous impact on a person’s quality of life. Dangerous working conditions harm millions of workers every year. Importantly, the “harm” that is caused comes in a number of different ways: Physical harm, lost wages and other financial harm, emotional distress and a loss in quality of life.

Likewise, what constitutes a “dangerous” workplace is variable. St. Charles & Kane County workers are injured and suffer harm as a result of a broad range of accidents, intentional conduct, exposure to unsafe or hazardous working conditions, and other unjust and unlawful treatment such as by: Defective or damaged tools, equipment and machinery; discrimination, harassment and retaliation; sexual harassment; sexual assault; disability discrimination; failure to accommodate disability or handicap; unlawful hiring practices; unlawful wage and compensation; failure to pay overtime; breach of contract; being wrongfully terminated or refused a promotion, training or being subjected to other types of adverse employment actions.
