Work Related Injury / On-The-Job Accidents

Work RelatedThousands of workers are injured or killed on the job in factories, construction sites, and in a variety of industrial settings each year. Many work related injuries and accidents at work involve falls, defective machinery, fires, and explosions. Injuries caused by these accidents are often severe and may result in a serious or permanent disability that prevents an injured worker from ever returning to work. While a work related injury in California must generally be handled in a workers’ compensation claim under the California Workers’ Compensation Act, there are certain circumstances when an injured worker may recover damages from another party who has been negligent, careless, or reckless in terms of safety precautions taken in the workplace.

The injury lawyers at the Law Offices of Carl D. Barnes handle work related injury and industrial accident cases Nationwide. Examples of third-party negligence claims in factory and industrial settings include:

  • Injuries caused by dangerous and defective machinery and tools Work Related
  • Falls from scaffolding, cranes and ladders
  • Exposure to toxic chemicals, including carbon monoxide and radiation
  • Exposure to flammable and combustible materials
  • Injuries caused by fires and explosions
  • Electrocution and burn injuries
  • Burns and chemical burns caused by flammable and combustible materials
  • Accidents involving forklifts, trucks, graters, bulldozers, back hoes, tractors and other heavy equipment
  • Fires and explosions involving boilers, gas tanks and gas lines

Under certain circumstances, an injured worker can file both a workers’ compensation claim and a third party negligence claim against the party who caused the accident. We understand the relationship between the California Workers’ Compensation Act and California tort law, and our trial lawyers represent injured employees and workers throughout California (CA) and across the United States who have been injured while on the job and either temporarily disabled and unable to work, or permanently disabled and out of work for good.
