Common Types of Industrial Accidents
Industrial accidents vary widely depending on the facility and operations involved. Many are preventable with proper training, safety protocols, and equipment maintenance.
Common incidents include:
- Fires and Explosions: Often linked to combustible materials, faulty wiring, or equipment failure
- Chemical Exposure: Inhalation or contact with hazardous substances may lead to acute injuries or chronic illness
- Equipment Malfunctions: Poorly maintained or defective machinery can result in crush injuries, amputations, or lacerations
- Falls and Electrocution: Working at heights or near electrical systems increases risk without appropriate safeguards
Each situation requires a thorough investigation to understand what happened and who may bear legal responsibility.
Determining Liability: Employers and Third Parties
While most employees are covered by workers' compensation, some cases involve potential liability beyond the employer. For example, third-party contractors, equipment manufacturers, or maintenance providers may be partially or fully responsible for an incident.
At Stephens Reed & Armstrong, PLLC, we investigate all potential sources of liability to build a strong case, whether you are seeking damages or preparing a defense. Our goal is to ensure that legal accountability is accurately assigned based on facts and evidence.
