Holding Employers Accountable for Work Injuries
Most injuries caused by unsafe work conditions can and should be handled through the Workers' Compensation system. However, if a serious injury or death results from a work place accident, then a claim may exist under the deliberate intent law. Deliberate intent cases are complex and require a knowledgeable and meticulous attorney.
At my firm — the Law Office of James M. Barber — I represent clients who were injured in chemical plants, saw mills, power plants and coal mines. With more than 25 years of experience, I know how to investigate a case to prove an employer knew about the unsafe work conditions and intentionally exposed employees to them. I help clients throughout Charleston and Kanawha County, West Virginia, receive the compensation they need.

Proving Intentional Exposure to Unsafe Work Conditions
Most employees go to work with the assumption that their work conditions will be safe. However, if an employer knowingly exposed employees to unsafe work conditions, he or she should be held liable for the damage his or her mistake caused.
When I handle a deliberate intent case, I investigate the elements of the situation, researching what the employer knew and why they allowed their employees to work in unsafe conditions. As a trial lawyer, this means fighting against big companies on behalf of clients who have been injured on the job.
