We all have days when we hate our jobs, but most of us aren’t risking life and limb when we head into the office. And while on-the-job safety is improving (2013 had the second-lowest workplace fatalities since 1992), some jobs remain more dangerous and more deadly than others.
Most people might guess police officers, firefighters, or security guards have the deadliest jobs, but law enforcement officers barely crack the top 15. So who has the deadliest job in America?
Honorable mention goes to taxi and limousine drivers. While murder on the job is relatively rare, taxi drivers are more likely to die from a homicide than from a transportation accident.
If a loved one has died on the job, you may have a workers’ compensation or wrongful death claim. You can contact an experienced attorney to find out.
