What is an example of a situation where an employer deliberately intended to cause me harm?
A. This is a complicated question and each situation really needs to be examined based on the law. If you think you might have a claim for workplace intentional tort, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible. However, an example would be if an employer makes the decision to remove guarding from a machine to speed up a process and then requires you to work on the unguarded machine. The employer’s decision to remove the guarding can be used as evidence of deliberate intent. Q. I got hurt while I was working but it is not my employer’s fault. Can I make a claim against the person or company that caused my injury. A. Yes. In Ohio, you can make a claim against a third party (someone who is not your employer or employed by your employer) if they were negligent and caused you harm. You should take to a lawyer right away because these situations are usually complicated. Your lawyer will need time investigate to determine the identities of all the people or companies at fault.
