Columbus Employer Intentional Tort Attorney
An employer intentional tort is a specific type of claim against a person’s employer based upon unsafe working conditions within a plant, mill, factory, or other workplace. More specifically, an employee may pursue an employer intentional tort claim if a company and/or its supervisors act in such a way that they deliberately intend to injure an employee or are substantially certain an employee will be hurt.
While most workplace accidents present workers compensation claims, employer intentional tort claims offer the employee an opportunity to be fully compensated for all of their losses, such as past and future medical expenses, full lost wages, and non-economic losses, such as pain and suffering and permanency.

Ohio Common Causes for Employer Intentional Tort Claims
As you may know, pursing an employer intentional tort in Ohio can be extremely difficult given recent trends in Ohio law. However, under specific circumstances, one may still pursue such an action against his or her employer.
Ohio employer intentional tort claims often arise when accidents occur as a result of an employer deliberately:
- Removing A Safety Guard on Industrial Machinery
- Failing to Install Equipment or Machine Safety Guard
- Disabling a Safety Feature on Equipment or Machinery
- Altering or Changing A Safety Feature on Industrial Machinery
Due to the degree of danger factory workers face from exposure to pinch points, nip points, points of operation, rollers, and other dangerous areas, it is imperative that industrial machinery have proper safety guards. When accidents occur from lack of such guarding, employers can be held liable. Employers can also be held liable for making deliberate misrepresentations about toxic or hazardous substances in their workplace.
