Brooklyn Industrial Accident Attorneys

Are you the victim of an industrial accident?

Construction accident? Refinery explosion? Toxic spill? Electric shock? Crushed or run over by a work vehicle? Industrial accidents come in many, many forms. When an injury happens to you, it’s important to make sure that the physical, financial, and emotional damages to you are recovered. Getting in touch with an experienced Brooklyn industrial accident lawyer to discuss your situation is one of the most important moves you can make.

Workplaces in the United States are some of the safest in the world, but accidents can happen in all jobs and some industries remain inherently dangerous. When safety is not treated as a critical priority or when risks are increased because of negligence, accidents can and do occur. By one estimate, as many as 4 million workers suffer an injury or contract an illness while at work each year while recent federal statistics list over 4,300 workplace fatalities in 2012.

Industrial accidents cut across a broad range of occupations and workplaces. Construction and related fields tend to record more injuries than other industries, but workers in transportation, mining, manufacturing, and agriculture also experience their share of unwelcome accidents and injuries. Injuries may result from falls, vehicle accidents, exposure to chemicals, and numerous other accidents and can take the form of broken bones, burns, paralysis, loss of a limb, blindness, traumatic brain injury, and many other potentially debilitating conditions.

Some injuries from industrial accidents will be paid for by workers’ compensation insurance, but in other cases this coverage is inadequate. It’s also sadly true that there are situations where an employer, subcontractor, manufacturer, or other party has allowed an accident to occur through negligence. In these cases, injured workers can and should pursue damages more aggressively.

There are many circumstances in which an experienced industrial accident lawyer can be of service, such as:

• Industrial injuries, such as toxic exposure or construction accidents
• Workplace injuries, which might be serious or catastrophic and can result in lost wages or permanent disability
• Plant explosions, which can result in both personal injury and property damage
• Workplace hazards, often the result of violations of workplace safety regulations
