Industrial
Accidents

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:

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.
