LAWYERS WHO HELP YOU AFTER A WORK INJURY

The consequences of industrial accidents are serious. If you or a loved one has been injured while working, you need serious Louisiana Industrial Accident Lawyers.

The experienced trial attorneys of Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards LLC have defended injury victims throughout Louisiana and helped them recover the compensation they deserve.

An industrial or plant accident can result in traumatic injuries and put your livelihood in jeopardy. Injuries in the workplace can happen for a variety of reasons.

INJURIES HAPPEN AT WORK FOR MANY REASONS

These include defective equipment, improper maintenance of equipment or tools, errors by supervisors or other employees, or improper storage of dangerous or explosive materials.

There are thousands of people in Louisiana who work in an industrial environment, including over 44,500 in 2017 in the extraction, pipeline and refining industries.

Industrial workplaces in Louisiana can include oil and gas refineries, petrochemical plants, offshore drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico, warehouses, those in the logging and timber industry and on construction sites.

INDUSTRIAL WORKPLACES CAN BE DANGEROUS

These are all highly-regulated and dangerous workplaces, often with many environmental hazards. Not all workplaces are as safe as the regulations require, particularly with employers concerned about cost savings.

Each job has its own risks, but industrial work has increased risk for injuries than other workplaces.

Chemical plant operators, electricians, drillers, welders, roughnecks, marine mechanics, tool makers and others in industrial jobs are workers we help.

WORK ACCIDENTS CAN CAUSE LIFE-ALTERING INJURIES

While each workplace has hazards and workers’ compensation issues – even in an office environment – the most hazardous circumstances often happen in jobs with heavy equipment and hazardous materials.

Lifting heavy machinery, handling dangerous chemicals and exposure to hazardous situations are a constant in these workplaces. An industrial accident can cause life-altering injuries.

WE TAKE PRIDE IN PROTECTING LOUISIANA WORKERS & FAMILIES

We take pride in the legal services we provide to injured workers and their families. It is important to report the injury as soon as possible if you are injured at work. After the injury, you generally have one year to file a workers’ compensation claim.

Obtaining full compensation is vital after an on-the-job injury or illness. Our attorneys understand the process and we know the tactics employers and their insurance companies can use to deny or discount employee claims.

Common industrial accidents can include:

  • Falling Objects
  • Heavy Equipment Malfunction
  • Explosions or Blast Injuries
  • Chemical Burns or Inhalation
  • Slips, Trips and Falls from Structures
  • Burst Piping and Tubing
  • Forklift Accidents
  • Electrocution

If you have been injured through no fault of your own at work, immediately seek legal representation with our Louisiana Industrial Accident Lawyers. Domengeaux Wright Roy & Edwards LLC offers a FREE initial consultation to evaluate your case. If you DO NOT recover damages, we DO NOT charge a fee.

We understand it can be a difficult process, particularly after already having gone through a serious injury at work and the concerns about your future. Our lawyers will negotiate with the insurance adjusters on your behalf.

Workers’ compensation claims are designed to provide funding for:

  • Medical Bills
  • Replacing Lost Wages
  • Reimbursement for Miles Driven to and from Doctors Visits
  • Scarring and Disfigurement
  • Vocational Training If you can no Longer Perform Your Job Duties

Third-party liability exists when someone who is not working for the employer causes the injury. You could be able to pursue compensation through a third-party personal injury lawsuit if you were injured due to the negligence of a third party.

PURSUING THIRD-PARTY LAWSUITS AFTER AN INJURY

This is important because workers’ compensation does not give settlements for “non-monetary” injuries like pain and suffering. There are many situations where this type of lawsuit can occur.

As an example, a construction worker is on a job site with many other contractors, and the negligent actions of another contractor leads to a construction worker’s injury. This could happen when an electrician improperly installs a line and it leads to an electric burn to another worker.

A tool, machine or device may be defective due to faulty manufacturing in many industrial workplaces. This could make the manufacturer liable for any injuries caused by the device.

EXPERIENCED IN TOXIC SUBSTANCES & CHEMICAL CASES

Substances made by a third-party could be toxic but not labeled properly, causing workers to develop illnesses.

Many toxic chemicals used in the workplace are known to cause illnesses, injuries or death. Some toxic substances – such as lead, benzene and asbestos – lead to poisoning, asphyxiation and chemical burns. Other effects may not appear for years until resulting in cancer or lung damage.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO FACE A WORK ACCIDENT ALONE

These are complex cases, but employers, manufacturers of the toxins and the safety equipment that failed to protect the workers may be liable for injuries that are suffered by employees. Our Personal Injury Law Firm is highly experienced in toxic substances and chemicals.

Seek the advice of an experienced Louisiana Industrial Accident Lawyer in an accident where the fault may not be with you or your employer, but with a third party, where they have provided defective equipment, improper maintenance or an unsafe environment.

PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS AFTER A WORK INJURY

Because our firm handles workers’ compensation and personal injury claims, we have a strong understanding of how these laws work together.

Slips and falls, improper equipment including ladders and scaffolding, electrical burns, negligence by other employees and the improper use of chemicals are unfortunately common.
