Workplace Negligent Security in Hollywood: A Serious Concern
When most employees think of a safe workplace, they’re thinking of personal protective equipment or processes that prevent accidents involving heavy machinery. But not all hazards are internal. Adequate security in the workplace is essential to prevent people from entering a place of work and injuring or harming employees.
If your employer failed to keep you safe at work and you suffered an injury or from violence as a result, you may have a claim. Pursuing your claim and any compensation you may be entitled to can in fact be important in helping you recover physically and emotionally from your injury. To find out more, contact Flaxman Law Group for a consultation with a workplace injury claims lawyer.

Will Automation Improve or Hurt Miami Workplace Safety?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into the workplace, where it’s being used to automate processes, gather more data for decision-making, and help workers be more productive. A number of accidents and injuries, however, also have some workers asking about safety.
If you’ve been injured in the workplace because of an AI system, you may have a workers’ compensation claim if your injury happened during regular work duties. However, you might also have a third-party claim against the manufacturer or programmer of an AI system.
