Industrial accidents happen in more ways than most people imagine. Falls, burns, electrocution, toxic exposures, and vehicle accidents are just a few of the more common accidents and injuries that unfortunate workers across the country experience every day. When a serious accident results in physical, financial, and emotional damage, it is possible that nothing can make you completely whole again. But you deserve to receive appropriate restitution for your suffering. A knowledgeable Staten Island industrial accident lawyer can work with you to achieve this goal.

Due in part to many factors, including improved worker awareness, technological advances, and occasional public outrage, workplaces in the United States have become some of the safest in the industrialized world. Workplace accidents can and will still happen, however, and there are some professions which to this day continue to carry an inherent risk of injury. On the other hand, when proper precautions are not taken as a result of negligence, safety is compromised and stepping into any workplace can become dangerous. According to government data, in 2012 over 4,300 workers died because of accidents that happened on the job. Besides those unfortunate victims, as many as 4 million others sustained an injury or fell ill while at work.

Workers in construction and related industries historically suffer more injuries than others, but those working in agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and transportation are also injured at high rates relative to most professions. No single occupation is immune, however, and industrial accidents take place in all workplaces. Injuries as diverse as burns, broken bones, concussions, paralysis, and blindness can be inflicted on unprotected workers. A wide array of causes can be involved, from unsecured materials which break loose and fall onto workers to vehicle accidents resulting in blunt force trauma; from exposure to caustic chemicals to electric shock triggered by improperly grounded equipment.

Workers’ compensation insurance can reimburse workers for many injuries suffered in industrial accidents. Unfortunately, it is often the case that an accident occurred through the negligence of a developer, contractor, equipment supplier, or another third party. When this is true, seriously injured workers may need to file additional claims to recover sufficient damages to assuage their injuries.

Industrial accident lawyers can offer assistance in diverse workplace accident situations:

–   Workplace injuries, which might be serious or catastrophic and result in lost wages or permanent disability

–   Workplace hazards, often resulting from violations of workplace safety regulations
