Industrial and manufacturing jobs carry some of the most serious injury risks of any workplace. When safety steps break down or someone is careless, the results can be devastating. The industrial accident attorneys at Templer & Hirsch fight to make sure injured workers get the full compensation they are owed. In our experience, the largest recoveries in these cases come from looking past workers' compensation to the equipment maker or outside contractor whose negligence actually caused the injury.
Types of Industrial Accidents
We handle industrial accident cases involving machinery accidents and workers getting caught in equipment, conveyor belt and assembly line injuries, forklift and heavy equipment accidents, explosions and chemical exposure, electrocution and other electrical accidents, falls from heights such as scaffolding, ladders, and roofs, welding accidents, and crane and rigging failures.
Workers' Compensation vs. Third-Party Claims
Injured industrial workers often have more than one way to recover. Workers' compensation pays for medical care and lost wages no matter who was at fault. But if a third party, such as an equipment maker, a subcontractor, or a property owner, helped cause your accident, you may also file a separate injury lawsuit for full damages, including pain and suffering. That second claim is often where the real recovery is.
OSHA Violations and Your Claim
If your employer or another company on the site broke OSHA safety rules, that can be strong evidence in your case. We look into whether any safety rules were broken and use that proof to push for the most compensation possible.
