When people think about the risk of injury or about what constitutes a dangerous environment, they are inclined to consider either their own past injuries or those that have befallen people whom they know well.
Rarely, however, do the circumstances and locations that inhabit our everyday lives jump to the forefront of such grim thought experiments, though perhaps they should.
While it certainly accomplishes nothing beneficial to panic and worry about all the conceivable things that could go wrong in a particular setting, instead remaining reasonably cautious and attentive to one's surroundings in order to reduce the risk of needless bodily injury.
If you look hard enough, you can uncover a world of hidden dangers in any situation, a fact that has troubled many people who were prone to excessive worry.
The typical professional kitchen, a site where well-trained individuals carefully prepare and cook some of the most delectable foods that one could hope to eat, is filled with more dangers that can be easily and readily accounted.
As an employee in this environment, you may sustain an injury that requires medical attention.
Though a work-related injury is likely compensable by your employer's workers' compensation insurance, acts of violence, egregious neglect, or defective and malfunctioning equipment may provide the basis for a civil legal action against the responsible parties.
Some Kitchen Dangers One May Face Though it is tempting for a layperson to simplify the imaginary kitchen and reduce the work that goes on inside to its primary purpose - cooking - the reality is that there are many different tasks that must be executed swiftly, efficiently, and safely in order for a restaurant, banquet facility, or other food service endeavor to run smoothly.
Dishwashing, food preparation, order running, and many other parts of the whole all meet in the kitchen in the midst of inherently dangerous equipment.

• Some of the kitchen dangers that one may face include:
• Scald burns from water heated by a faulty water heater
• Severe lacerations and puncture wounds inflicted as a result of intentional malice
• Slip and fall injuries from leaks caused by defectively designed or manufactured dishwashing equipment
• Electrical burns, shocks, and other injuries caused by defective or malfunctioning kitchen appliances and tools

Seeking the Compensation You Are Due If you have suffered an injury in the kitchen that is attributable to the negligence of another person, then filing a legal action may be appropriate.
