Serious and Fatal Industrial and Construction Accident Lawyers
The equipment used in industrial plants, shipyards, construction sites and oil refineries can place the employees working with such equipment at risk of suffering catastrophic injuries and even death. Although workers' compensation laws may sometimes bar an injured industrial worker from filing a claim against his employer, experienced legal counsel is needed to investigate whether that bar to filing a claim applies, as well as to investigate the existence of sources of recovery other than workers' compensation benefits.
When the experienced New Orleans construction accident attorneys of Bowling & McKinney are asked to review a workers' potential accident claim, they will investigate applicable workers' compensation laws and whether it is appropriate to pursue a third-party liability injury claim. The firm can provide representation for industrial workers and construction workers who have been injured in accidents involving:
- Forklift, crane or other construction equipment accidents
- Falls from scaffolding, scaffolding collapses and other scaffold accidents
- Falls from the roofs of residential homes or businesses
- Heavy machinery accidents
- Electrocution accidents
- Explosions
- Other industrial accidents
The prompt and thorough investigation conducted by Bowling & McKinney may expose safety violations, defective equipment, dangerous machinery, subcontractor negligence or other factors for which a third party may be held liable. Injuries occurring as a result of industrial and construction accidents may include limb amputation, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury or other catastrophic injuries.
