When it comes to workers comp, familiarity with the system is critical to effectively apply a knowledge of the law. At Dunlevey, Mahan & Furry, we work extensively with the various offices of the Industrial Commission and Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. We frequently resolve client issues in less time than it would take a less experienced attorney to determine where to begin.

OSHA

Occupational Safety and Health Law is another important practice area. Recognizing the value of prevention, we regularly counsel business clients on OSHA compliance issues. When facing an OSHA inspection, our established clients call us early, so we can take immediate steps to protect their rights and advise them on the most prudent way to proceed.

While we have successfully negotiated many favorable settlement agreements with OSHA, settlement is not always possible. Our attorneys have substantial experience litigating before the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and in federal courts on OSHA matters. Because government attorneys often practice OSHA litigation exclusively, it is critical that an employer retain equally experienced counsel. When litigation is inevitable, Dunlevey, Mahan & Furry is ready.
