Have you or a loved one been injured in an industrial accident?
An “industrial accident” refers to an incident where an employee is injured while
working at a large industrial facility like DuPont, TXI, Hubble
Power Systems, Kraft Foods, Watlow-Columbia Inc., Dana Corp., ABC
Laboratories, 3m, Frito-Lay, Pilgrim’s Pride, Sanderson Farms, and many
others.
There are many ways employees can get hurt at an industrial
facility including electrocution, explosions, burns, crush, falls, and
inhalation of
poisonous fumes. Sadly, Houston has been the home to several examples
of all of these types of industrial accidents. This is due to the fact
that there is such a large presence of large scale manufacturing and
chemical production in the Houston area. Whenever you have such a high
concentration of thee types of dangerous elements, an industrial
accident is likely to happen.
The main thing to consider in an industrial accident, is that unlike an
injury sustained while working for a small company, companies that
operate plants and factories of this magnitude have their own legal
counsel on staff. When a worker is injured or killed in an industrial accident, these attorneys are put in charge of damage control. They can
make it very challenging for an accident victim or their family to get
fair compensation.
This is precisely where we can help. Our experienced Houston
industrial accident attorneys understand the law, and will not let
these corporate giants walk over you.

As with any other type of work-related injuries in Houston, industrial
accidents are subject to the rules of the Texas Workers' Compensation
Act.
One of the benefits to hiring Grossman Law Office's Houston industrial accident lawyers following an
industrial accident is that we can quickly determine if the employer
has workers
compensation coverage or not. Once this determination is made, the case
can go in diametrically different directions.
It is critical in these types of cases to obtain all of the evidence
immediately, before the industrial employer has an opportunity to
“clean up” the site. Witness statements, pictures, measurements, and
video should be obtained immediately following the accident. In most
cases, we will partner with an industrial accident who will help us
inspect the site where the accident took place before the site is
tampered with.
