Vassar Law Firm Joins Thanksgiving Efforts of Oklahoma’s Lawyers Against Hunger
Everyday, Attorney Bill Vassar sees workers’ compensation and personal injury clients who don’t have enough money to feed their families — and it’s especially difficult for them around the holidays. So when he heard about the efforts of an alliance of Oklahoma law firms and businesses to help fight hunger, he didn’t hesitate to donate to its cause.
Lawyers Against Hunger will feed thousands of Oklahoma families this Thanksgiving. The group sought out donations statewide for the cost of the turkeys to be given to those in need. Mr. Vassar’s donation will provide 15 families with turkeys for their holiday meal.
“There are so many families out there who are facing hard times this year either because of a work injury or car accident,” Mr. Vassar said. “It’s my hope that we can help them see we care about them and want the best holiday possible for them.”
The nonprofit organization is dedicated to fighting hunger, increasing food security for those in need, and providing support grants to other groups that help fight hunger in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma Work Injuries Involve Heavy Equipment
Construction, manufacturing see the most worker injuries by heavy equipment
Earlier this year, we started a series of the Top 5 Injuries in the Workplace. We’ve written posts on falls from heights, lifting injuries and on-the-job accidents. Now, here’s No. 4: Worker Injuries Involving Heavy Equipment.
Many jobs, such as construction and manufacturing, require workers to use complex heavy equipment. When properly maintained and used correctly, these machines can make work easier and help workers complete tasks more quickly. But this equipment also has the potential to make these jobs very dangerous.
In fact, construction is the most dangerous profession in the United States because there are literally thousands of risks facing construction workers every day. Construction workers suffer more on-the-job fatalities than any other profession.
If you or someone you know has been hurt on-the-job by heavy equipment, call Vassar Law Firm first. You may have a workers compensation claim. We’re here to help.
We’ll come to you. We’ll listen to you, and we’ll fight for you.
