Industrial Injury Lawyer in Texas
Workplace Accidents & Injuries
It has been estimated that over one thousand people die every year from industrial accidents. Sometimes these were caused by factors outside of the company's control, but sometimes they result from negligence or carelessness on the part of an employer or co-worker. If you or a family member were injured while at work, you should not be responsible for the medical bills and loss of wages. The team at Arnold & Itkin LLP is dedicated to standing up for the rights of victims of
workplace injuries. We have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for our clients and could do the same for you.
Types of Injuries
The types of injuries that can be sustained from workplace accidents can be catastrophic.
Blunt force trauma can lead to
head,
back, and
brain injuries. Since heavy machinery is present in environments like
refineries and
construction sites, malfunctions or improper use can lead to
amputation and worse. Employers are not only responsible for making sure the workplace is free of
hazards like
defective equipment,
falling objects and
debris, and
toxic exposure, but they are also responsible for providing adequate safety training. If they failed to do this, they may be investigated by the
Occupational Health & Safety Administration.
If you were a victim of a workplace accident, there are a number of different claims that could help you.
Maritime claims protect those who were injured on ships, tankers, oil platforms, and other maritime-related occupations.
Personal injury claims are possible if the employer did not have workers' compensation insurance or was not covered under that insurance.
Product liability claims help those who were injured by defective equipment or machinery. For more information, please see the links below:
