Industrial Accidents

Those who work in industrial occupations perform an important service for society, and their sacrifices are often taken for granted. Industrial employees are at a higher risk of suffering catastrophic injury or fatality than those in other occupations. We believe that for people who have been injured, the main goal is to get them back on their feet as quickly as possible. Helping injured victims receive compensation for their injuries is an important part of this process.

Know Your Employer

Industrial sites are complex workplaces, and often, many different employers manage employees on a single site at the same time. Not only is there an employer who directly oversees the project on the site, but there are also contractors and subcontractors performing special jobs. Repairmen may also be on site to fix equipment. Inspectors, delivery people, and machine installers may come and go throughout the day. The lack of communication that may come with having so many different people coordinating work can leave an injured victim confused as to how to file a claim and who should be held accountable. If you have been injured on an industrial or construction site, and are unsure whether you are entitled to compensation, the knowledgeable New Jersey Workers’ Compensation lawyers at the Law Offices of Harold J. Gerr can help.

Employer Duties

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) governs industrial sites, and establishes very strict safety standards. This includes providing proper facilities for employees, safety gear and equipment, and necessary safety training. Unfortunately, employers do not always abide by OSHA’s mandates. If you are aware of a hazardous condition at work that is threatening your safety or that of your coworkers, you should notify your employer immediately. If an injury occurs after an employer has been notified of an unsafe condition, yet they failed to remedy it, they may be liable for punitive damages. Holding negligent employers accountable is an important part of keeping workers everywhere safe.

Injuries and Potential Damages

Industrial workers are prone to some of the most serious accidents of any occupation, including burns, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord injuries, and blunt force trauma. In extreme cases, workers may even be fatally injured, in which case their family may be able to bring a wrongful death claim for damages on their behalf. This compensation can help both the victim and their family get through the most difficult time of their lives.
