Workplace violence claims are, unfortunately, too common an experience. Violence in the workplace is a serious safety and health issue. Homicide is the fourth-leading cause of fatal occupational injury in the United States. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), there were 564 workplace homicides in 2005 in the United States, out of a total of 5,702 fatal work injuries.
If you or a loved one has been injured as the result of workplace assaults or other violence, you are covered by workers’ compensation. A surviving spouse or another eligible dependent may also be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits.
