Intentional Torts in the Workplace

Intentional tort cases are difficult matters. Your attorney must prove that despite known dangers associated with a certain work condition, an employer continued to put an employee at risk by having him continue the job. The employer must have knowledge of the hazardous condition that leads to the injury. Intentional torts cases may involve exposure, equipment failures and unguarded machinery. Intentional tort cases can also apply in employment situations where an employer may be held responsible for an employee’s actions. This can include workplace injuries involving industrial and manufacturing accidents.
