I do want to say that Anjali Nigam was one of the best advocates I had. She was perfect in every aspect. I have a new lease on life now because of what you and The Ammons Law Firm achieved for me. Thank you, that’s all I have to try and explain how grateful I am. Thank you for fighting as hard as I fought to stay alive. – God Bless!"
Spring, Tx
"Thank you very much for all the work that you did on our behalf. I really appreciate everything that you all did, as well as your professionalism and the timely manner in which you got things done.
Also, please give our thanks to your staff who were so helpful when we had questions! If we have need of your services or if we know anyone else who does anytime in the future, we will certainly give you a call! Thank you again for everything."
Mansfield, La
"A little over two years ago I received a telephone call that all parents dread to hear. The person on the other line simply said, “Your daughter has been in an accident”. Well here I was 1500 miles away from her , trying to absorb the rest of the conversation, trying to stay focused enough to get the details. Shortly after I arrived in Texas my lovely daughter of 38 years passed away from injuries sustained from a motorcycle accident.
I won’t continue this story, however what I will say is, when things calmed down a little, I knew I must become a voice for my daughter. Though a chain of events our family was introduced to the Ammons Law Firm of Houston, Texas.
From the first initial contact with Mr. Robert Ammons and his staff, I hung up the telephone feeling as if I and my family were in good hands. We had constant contact from Ohio to Texas via the telephone and the computer for two years. The staff made all the arrangements anytime I had to fly to Texas and made sure I had comfortable accommodations while I was there.
My family and I were kept abreast of the progress for our case on a regular basis. Anytime I had any questions, the staff was polite, informative, and punctual with the answers.
I am very satisfied with the level of concern and commitment Mr. Ammons and his staff displayed from the beginning to the conclusion of our association.
I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone who might be seeking one.
Thank You Mr. Ammons and your staff."

This was my first case to be on a jury. I really connected to the attorneys and the family."
Bennett cares for the well being of my children and me, and is truly sincere. During the two years of my lawsuit and throughout the trial, Bennett was there to answer any questions or concerns I had. I am grateful for all of his hard work, advice, and support.
The Ammons Law Firm believed in my late husband and what I was fighting for. They brought out the truth, and brought justice to his name. The friendships that were made with the attorneys of the Ammons Law Firm will be life long. I could not have done this without them."

Some 5,214 U.S. workers died as a result of occupational hazards in 2008, according to federal statistics. That was down from 5,657 a year earlier – in part due to the slower economy, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics analysis – and the lowest since the BLS began recording a fatality census in in 1992. Interestingly, though, workplace suicides – 263 for the year – were the highest on record.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics site offers national and state-by-state data up through 2008. The statistics are sliced into a number of different permutations including industry type, worker classification, etc. and are divided into fatal and non-fatal incidents.
Not surprisingly, high-risk jobs in public safety and construction have a high fatality rate, and across all occupations, a large percentage of deaths are transportation-related. In 2008, for example, 982 motor vehicle operators died.
But there are some surprises in the national numbers - who would’ve thought that floral designers, public service announcers and book-keepers were at risk of dying on the job. But several did, in 2008.
As to on-the-job injuries, the BLS says there were nearly 3.7 million in 2008, and about a third were serious enough to cause missed work. Here’s a look at the incidence rate by industry; – aside from public safety personnel, health care workers have quite a high injury rate.
High-risk fields like agriculture, motor-vehicle manufacturing (including RVs, trailers and mobile homes) and tourism-related injuries also see a lot of workplace injuries. Problems range from skin diseases to poisoning to assaults to ergonomics issues.
This state-by-state resource and reports database from the BLS will help to guide you to your area’s data collectors as well as state-specific reports in the BLS site.
And of course, the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety & Health Administration is the clearinghouse for worker safety information; they publish weekly fatality and catastrophe reports which will offers information on specific incidents in your area, complete with the names and addresses of the companies involved. The report for May 1, for example, tells about a Minnesota supermarket worker who died of an infection, an Arizona worker who got trapped in a freight elevator gate and a Nebraska worker engulfed in grain while working on a conveyor belt.
Among the many publications of interest on the OSHA site is searchable accident investigation database.
Other sources of information, ‘real people,’ and data would include labor unions, attorneys specializing in workers compensation cases and trade groups for facilities managers. Professional journals and industry magazines like EHS Today.
With U.S. workers putting in hundreds of millions of hours each day, the laws of probability favor some mishaps and accidents.
