Workplace Injury
Many people may be familiar with the Christian Brothers Automotive repair shop franchise, where car repairs of all types can be performed by auto mechanics. The Christian Brothers Automotive shops have been successful in regards to managing successful relations with the customers.

Slip and Fall Over Oil or Water on the Ground
OSHA requires safe management of the shop floor and all workers will have been trained on how to remain safe in the workplace of the auto repair garage. Even with the strictest of safety standards in place, those standards are only as good as applied by the shop workers at the garage. If you have been injured in a Christian Brothers Automotive shop as an employee, a lawyer will work with you and talk to you about your case when you give us a call. Even if you have a stellar personal work record at your shop, the reckless and negligent actions of other people can cause a serious injury to you. Remember, accidents in these types of hazardous work areas happen all the time, it does not mean that it was your fault.
All garages have large safety training manuals that describe every safety measure under the sun. But even with a telephone book sized training manual sitting in the office managers desk drawer, accidents at the garage will still happen. When you are injured in an auto repair garage, the injury is likely to be compounded, as there are many hazardous materials, chemicals, liquids, cars on lifts, heavy equipment, and many people working around you all the time.
For example, one person can be working on a car, another can trip over a wire or cable on the floor, and another person can trip on the cable. If the person who tripped was carrying a heavy container of chemicals, gasoline, oil or lubricants and that container then spills on the ground, it may set up a chain reaction of other injuries. There are typically stacked and leaning materials around a workshop repair garage, any of these items can fall down when disturbed. A mechanic who trips on something left on the floor, or slips on oil on the flooring can fall backwards, knock into a lever, and cause a lift to fall down on a worker welding underneath a car several meters off of the ground.

Trip and Fall Over Wires & Hoses
Injured by Falling Objects
The atmosphere in an auto repair garage is full of hazards to the workers. These shop environments are also storage facilities for many different types of chemicals, heavy parts and materials, and batteries. The contents of a shop’s inventory have to be stored near to where the auto mechanics have access to the parts. These parts will be stored up on bracketed shelving, metal storage racks with wooden cross shelving, and on the floor in corners of the shop for the convenience of the workers. If a high shelf is disturbed, it is not unusual for that shelving to come crashing down and injure a worker. If you are interested in being reimbursed for your injuries from a falling object, you need to initiate a lawsuit to get back the compensation that you deserve for your injuries.
Suffered Burn and Electric Shock Injury
Serious injuries are experienced by workers at auto mechanic garages when workers are burned and injured by an electrical shock. Electrical shock and burn injuries can be serious, and may include:
- Burns
- Scalding of the skin
- Electrocuting the person
- Singed flesh on arms, legs torso
- Blinded with electrical flash or arc
- Welding spark injuries
- Clothing catching on fire
If you have suffered a burn injury, or have been the victim of an electrical shock, you must call an attorney with expertise in these areas of the law. You are definitely entitled to workers compensation and will need it to pay for your losses, damage and injuries that were suffered as a result of dangerous conditions in your workspace.

On the contrary, you need to talk to the experts. You will find that we have attorneys who specialize in workers compensation as a result of injuries from an auto mechanic shop. We are here for you and are ready to start fighting for your recovery compensation today.
Victim of Toxic Fumes Inhalation
The workspace in an auto mechanic garage is a tightly enclosed space. It is not difficult at all to start breathing in horrible and toxic fumes in that environment. Even if you are working safely and ventilating your work area properly to the outside areas, it only takes one other person to stink up the air and make it unbreathable with fumes, particulate matter and other harmful smells and chemicals. Where do you think those chemicals, fumes, and dangerous particulate matter go to when you smell it strongly in the air of your workspace? These dangerous fumes, chemicals and heavy metal residuals go straight into your nose, and then are found lodged in your lungs. Your body cannot clear away these toxins fast enough, and they will 100% start to affect your overall health in a detrimental way sooner than later.

Do I Have a Case?

You can have had a dangerous work environment that was the main contributing factor to your loss, and that is not your fault. Sure, it takes more time during the business day to continually clean up after yourselves while working on cars together in an auto mechanic shop atmosphere. But if one person just leaves out one hazard, it can injure many other coworkers at the shop at one time. Now, that doesn’t sound as if it is your fault entirely, does it?
