Common types of industrial accidents
Equipment Malfunction
This involves machinery failing due to poor maintenance, defective parts, or design flaws. These failures can lead to crushing injuries, amputations, and fatalities. An equipment malfunction lawyer can investigate maintenance logs and manufacturer liability to secure compensation for victims.
Falls from Height
Common on construction sites and in large facilities, falls from scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops often result in severe or fatal injuries. A fall from height attorney can determine if a lack of proper safety equipment or training was a factor and hold employers or property owners liable.
Fires and Explosions
Industrial sites often handle flammable materials, and a single spark can lead to a devastating explosion or fire. Victims can suffer extreme burns and other life-altering injuries. An industrial explosion lawyer investigates the cause, from code violations to negligence, to pursue justice for those harmed.
Toxic Chemical Exposure
This occurs when workers are exposed to hazardous substances through spills, leaks, or inadequate ventilation, leading to respiratory damage, chemical burns, or long-term illnesses. A toxic exposure attorney can help prove the link between the exposure and your health condition to recover damages for medical care and suffering.
Trench or Structure Collapse
Excavation sites can be deadly if trenches are not properly shored, leading to a sudden collapse that can trap and crush workers. A trench collapse lawyer works to prove that safety regulations were ignored and helps victims and their families get the compensation they deserve.
Forklift and Heavy Vehicle Accidents
These incidents involve collisions, rollovers, or workers being struck by forklifts, cranes, or other heavy vehicles on an industrial site. Often caused by operator error or a lack of clear safety protocols, these accidents can be severe. An attorney can help untangle the factors to establish negligence.
Questions and Answers
{

"props": {}
}
{
"content": "First, seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel fine, as some injuries are not immediately apparent. Report the incident to your supervisor or employer as soon as possible, making sure a formal accident report is filed. If you can, take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and what caused them. Get contact information from any witnesses. Finally, contact an industrial accident lawyer to understand your rights before making any official statements to an insurance company.",

{
"content": "Can I sue my employer for an industrial accident?",
"props": {}
}
{
"content": "In most states, the workers' compensation system is the exclusive remedy for injuries, meaning you typically cannot sue your employer directly. However, there are exceptions, such as if the employer acted with gross negligence or intentionally caused your injury. More commonly, you may be able to file a third-party lawsuit against another negligent party, such as the manufacturer of faulty equipment, a contractor on the same job site, or the property owner.",
"props": {}
}
{
"content": "What is the difference between a workers' compensation claim and a personal injury lawsuit?",
"props": {}
}
{
"content": "A workers' compensation claim provides no-fault benefits for medical bills and a portion of lost wages, but it does not cover pain and suffering. A personal injury (or third-party) lawsuit allows you to seek full compensation for all your damages, including medical expenses, all lost income, and pain and suffering. You can often pursue both simultaneously if a third party's negligence contributed to your industrial accident.",
"props": {}
}
{
"content": "How long do I have to file an industrial accident claim?",
"props": {}
}
{
"content": "The time limit, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state. For a workers' compensation claim, you may only have a short period to report the injury (sometimes just a few days) and a year or two to file the formal claim. For a third-party personal injury lawsuit, the statute of limitations is typically two to three years from the date of the accident. It is critical to consult with an attorney quickly to ensure you don’t miss these strict deadlines.",

{
"content": "How much does it cost to use Westwise for your accident?",
"props": {}
}
{
"content": "There are zero fees to start a case review with us. Our partner law firms operate fee basis, which means our payment is a percentage of the compensation they recover. So if they don’t secure a settlement or verdict in your favor, you owe nothing.",
