California Industrial Accident Lawyers
Industrial accidents can have a devastating impact on the health of workers and nearby residents alike. Industrial accidents can leave catastrophic injuries and incur high damages that a worker’s compensation will not be able to cover. For passerbys and residents who are not covered under worker’s compensation, and seriously injured worker’s whose worker’s compensation is insufficient for the total damages of an industrial accident, it is strongly recommended to seek the legal counsel of an experienced California industrial accident lawyer.
Types of Industrial Accidents
Industrial accidents are often the result of negligence or incompetence in the processing, production, or the construction industry. Types of industrial accidents include:
- Poisoning or polluting water supply
- Exposing employees to harsh and even deadly chemicals
- Explosions and fire
- Polluting the air with poisonous chemicals/by products
- Malfunctioning machinery
Catastrophic Industrial Accident Injuries
Injuries sustained in an industrial accident often require serious medical attention and can possibly leave victims with permanent disabilities. Types of injuries associated with industrial accidents are:
- Poisoning from contaminated water
- Asbestos related cancer/illness
- Brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Hearing loss
- Burn injuries
- Amputation
- Internal organ injuries
Determining Liability
Because there are a number of different parties responsible for maintaining the safety of an industrial or construction site, in some cases, workers can pursue a third party suit without interrupting their worker’s compensation. Another contractor may be responsible for the faulty wiring that resulted in an explosion, or the defective pipes that leaked noxious substances. In every industrial accident case, it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation to identify all possibly responsible parties to ensure victims are properly compensated.
Considering Legal Action
Oftentimes worker’s compensation is not nearly enough to cover the bills and expenses of a serious injury accident. Many employees work injured to make ends meet, and thereby exacerbate their injuries. If the another party was responsible for your industrial accident, consult a knowledgeable industrial accident lawyer to determine your eligibility to pursue a suit.                                                   Â
