Industrial accidents often result in severe injuries or death. We advocate tirelessly for victims and their families, pursuing justice and fair compensation for those affected.
Common Industrial Accidents
Dealing with workplace hazards is part of the job description of an industrial worker. Despite employers' efforts to provide a safe working environment, accidents occur, leading to injuries. However, sometimes, accidents happen and cause more than simple routine injuries. Here are the common causes of serious industrial accidents:
- Falls from elevated areas, roofs, or ladders
- Defective or poorly maintained equipment
- Electrocution
- Chemical spills or toxic exposure
- Physical stress due to repetitive movement
- Oilfield explosions or other disasters
In many cases, Texas employers do not carry workers’ compensation coverage and, therefore, are liable for worker injuries. Often, third-party negligence plays a role, and those third parties should cover the losses of severely injured accident victims.
