Compensation for Industrial Accident Victims
When an act of carelessness leads to an accident, the victim has a right to seek compensation for damages. These damages can include medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and more. The Lake Charles, Louisiana, law firm of Veron, Bice, Palermo & Wilson has the experience to stand up for the rights of victims. Our attorneys are dedicated to providing justice for industrial accident victims.
The Hazards of the Industrial Workplace
In factories, oil rigs, refineries and even construction sites and other similar workplaces, employees are faced with many hazards on a daily basis. Typically, these hazards are managed to keep workers safe. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.
Industrial workers are frequently the victims of accidents involving explosions, chemical spills and oil spills, gas leaks and more. Employees can be hurt by the improper use of workplace equipment and tools, such as scaffolding, ladders, punch press machines and more. Other cases can involve chemical exposure. No matter what type of industrial accident has occurred, our lawyers have the experience to take action.
More Than Just Workers' Compensation
When a worker is injured on the job, the first thought is almost always workers' compensation. Yes, in many cases this is a viable option, but it may not be the only option. If the accident was the result of negligence on the part of someone other than the victim's employee, a personal injury case can be filed. For example, in cases in which the accident was caused by a defective industrial product, the manufacturer of that product may be held responsible. Our attorneys will find out who is responsible and take action.
