Tesla’s California Factory Subject to Safety Investigations Following Reports of Hazards and Injuries

On behalf of The Law Offices of Howard Kornberg Posted in Personal Injury

As a backlash against autonomous vehicles seems to take hold, potentially spelling bad news for manufacturers and suppliers of the so-called robot cars, Tesla has recently had additional woes in the guise of health and safety concerns at its Fremont, California factory. Working conditions at the factory are currently under investigation by the California Department of Industrial Relations, the department in charge of overseeing Cal-OSHA. Shortly before the investigation was announced, it was alleged by a journalist that Tesla was illegally undercounting and underreporting accidents at the plant, with examples of common injuries amongst the factory workers including headaches from inhaling fumes emitted from glue, head injuries sustained as a result of a slip and fall injury, and various repetitive strain injuries. According to the investigative journalist who released the story, safety measures at the Tesla plant were definitely sub-standard, and workers felt compelled to resign rather than continuing to battle management on the issue.

The investigation into working conditions at the Tesla plant was announced in mid-April, with no further update available at the time of writing.

Premises Liability and Los Angeles Personal Injury Attorneys

While different types of injuries may fall into different areas of California law, if you have been injured due to the negligence or willful dangerous actions of another person or entity, you could be entitled to recover monetary damages in respect of your injuries. For example, in the case of a head injury caused by a slip and fall accident, as mentioned above, a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer could help you to build a strong premises liability case against the property owner. However, when you have sustained severe injuries and are unable to work, the specifics of the legislation are unlikely to matter to you.

By consulting with a skilled personal injury attorney, you could shift the burden onto our shoulders, leaving it to us to seek compensation on your behalf, as you concentrate on recovering from your injuries and returning to your normal everyday activities.

What to Do When You Have Been Injured in a Los Angeles Accident

Whether your personal injury has been caused by a car crash, truck crash, premises liability, defective product, or a scenario falling into another legal category, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Failing to do so could not only be dangerous but could adversely affect any personal injury claim you may file going forward. When you speak to your doctor or another medical professional after a Los Angeles personal injury, there are a few points our experienced attorneys feel you should be aware of:

  • Do not lie to your doctor, either in an attempt to minimize your injuries and get back to your daily activities before you should, or to exaggerate your injuries. Lying about the extent of your injuries could mean the authenticity of your entire claim is brought into question
  • Make sure not to miss your appointment, or show up late
  • Do not be tempted to discuss your lawsuit with your doctor
  • Make sure to inform your doctor if and how your injuries affect your earning capacity
  • Perhaps most importantly, do not forget or refuse to seek medical attention at all

Of course, you should also speak to an outstanding Los Angeles personal injury attorney to identify the best way to proceed with your case. To schedule a free initial consultation, call us today at 310-997-0904.
