Unfortunately, industrial accidents are pretty common throughout the Gulf Coast, including here in Houston. In fact, Houston is one of the most dangerous cities for workers according to data from OSHA.

Industrial accidents often cause catastrophic injuries or even death for their victims. Many of these accidents are a result of negligence from the company, such as by cutting corners for safety policies or reducing budgets to the point that it creates safety hazards for workers and the public alike.

Legal Options After an Industrial Accident

construction accidentsAfter an industrial accident, injured workers have options. The first option is to file a workers’ compensation claim. Injured workers are protected under workers’ compensation laws.

These laws allow injured workers to receive benefits to pay for medical bills and a part of their lost wages until they can return to work. It also pays benefits if the worker suffers a permanent or temporary disability. In some cases, injured workers may file a lawsuit against the responsible party.
