Testimonials
- A few years ago I was shopping in a large chain store when I slipped in some linseed oil that had been spilled on the floor. I ended up seriously injuring my right shoulder and I eventually needed surgery...
- Robert Nutting - My husband and I were in a serious car accident in which the other driver crossed into our lane and hit us head on. My husband broke his back and I hurt my shoulder so bad that I needed surgery. The first lawyer we hired told us our case was only worth a small amount of money...
- Cheryl H - I came from my home in the United Kingdom to work at a children’s summer camp in northern New Hampshire. Not long after I arrived, I was bitten in the face by a large Akita dog.
- Evie Newbold - Several years ago I was rear-ended while driving and suffered a back injury. The back injury got worse and worse and eventually I was unable to continue working as a landscape architect. Needless to say I was very concerned about my future...
- Rick Kelley - As painful as my injuries and rehabilitation were, I truly did not consider them to be part of the nightmare, because they were, after all, accidents. The actual nightmares were delivered through the callous indifference of insurance companies and the sheer insanity of the Workers Compensation system.

New Hampshire Employer Faces Multiple Worker Safety Violations
Posted on Jun 30, 2009
A New Hampshire gun maker is facing stiff penalties after the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) found many violations at the plant.
The violations occurred between November 2008 and May 2009 and total $255,150 for 60 alleged safety and health standards violations. The company under fire is Sturm Ruger & Co. Inc. and the violations occurred at its Newport firearms manufacturing plant.
According to Rosemarie Ohar, area director in OSHA's Concord office, "Our inspections identified a large number of mechanical, respirator protection, electrical, lead, fire, explosive and other hazards that must be effectively and continually addressed to protect the workers at this plant from potentially deadly or disabling injuries and illnesses now and in the future."
One of the more serious violations was termed "willful" and carries with it a $63,000 proposed fine. The company failed to guard rotating parts of drill presses, sanding and polishing machines. If an employee made contact with the parts the risk of severe or fatal injuries would be significant.
OSHA defines a willful violation as one committed with plain indifference to or intentional disregard for employee safety and health.
