On-the-Job Injuries
Workplace and Industrial Accidents
It has been said that more accidents occur in the home than anywhere else. If that holds true, then perhaps the second most common location for potential accidents is on the job.
Every year work injuries, such as machine accidents, maim or kill thousands of workers in the United States. In most instances, those workers are prohibited from filing lawsuits against their employers. Instead, they must recover for their injuries through the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act.
However, a third party may be sued for failing to provide or ensure the operation of sufficient safety measures. Parties that may be sued include:
- Property Owners
- Architects
- Contractors
- Manufacturers of Construction Equipment
If you have suffered a workplace or industrial accident, contact the San Antonio work injury lawyers at Hall & Bates, LLP, for a free initial consultation. Telephones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
