What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nebraska
I was injured twice at my old job within a span of a month or two. I could've easily died both times and they were both either do to improper training from a foreman or safety negligence. My second injury was due to safety negligence. I was operating a dump truck and was not aware that the emergency/parking brake did not work on the vehicle. I was wearing all PPE(Personal Protective Equipment), and was drug 25 feet under a 10.5 ton dump truck into a ditch, luckily, I escaped with just nerve damage and my leg had swollen with blood clots resulting in it being 2.5 times bigger than normal. My foreman and other crew members were aware that the brake was not operational nor reliable for months and still did nothing, Can I pursue legal action for this?
