			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A court has ruled that Amtrak must pay $160,000 to a cleaning employee that was injured on the job.</p>
<p>The incident occurred On October 1, 2007 as the woman was carrying trash bags from the train platform to a pickup truck when she stepped down an placed her foot on unstable rocks that caused her to sprain her ankle.</p>
<p>After the woman recovered from the ankle injury, her employers fired her for not using &#8216;common sense.&#8217; They eventually took that back and only gave her a 30-day suspension. The woman was awarded the money because of loss of wages, punitive damages and trauma from being fire.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of fatal workplace injuries has decreased by 17 percent in 2009.</p>
<p>In 2008, the number of workplace fatalities was at 5,214 and in 2009 it fell to 4,340. This number is the lowest that it has been since the bureau began recording the numbers in 1992.</p>
<p>The numbers for 2009 are preliminary because the agency&#8217;s budget constraints may put a limit on how much research can be done at a time. The agency noted that last year&#8217;s number increased by 165 after the preliminary numbers were released.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Iowa Supreme court has ruled on a <a href="http://www.levinsonaxelrodattorneys.com/">workers compensation</a> case that was filed after the death of a volunteer firefighter in 2005.</p>
<p>The incident occurred when the firefighter&#8217;s boss fell into a manure pit and was overcome by fumes so the man tried to go into the pit and save him, but he was also overcome by the methane fumes.</p>
<p>Officials from the workers compensation commission ruled that the man was working as a farm hand and a volunteer firefighter when the accident occurred because when he was notified of the emergency he was in the capacity of a firefighter.</p>
<p>Workplace accidents can change the lives of everyone involved, our condolences are with the friends and family of the victims in the accident.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals has reversed an appeal that stated that a woman would not receive benefits after being injured at work because she was on a smoke break when the incident occurred.</p>
<p>The appeals court found that the woman deserved to receive workers compensation because the injury happened in an employer-designated area.</p>
<p>The woman arrived at work early in order to avoid traffic on icy roads on the way to work. After going to her workstation and turning on her computer she went to an employee area for a smoke break. As she walked back to her area, she slipped and fell.</p>
<p>The woman is claiming that injured her left side, knee and back. The trial court denied benefits, but the appeals court reversed it claiming that it was similar to other cases where benefits were granted.</p>
