If you need to speak with an industrial accident lawyer about filing a personal injury claim or wrongful death claim, we encourage you to contact us right away for a free consultation.

Types of Industrial Accident Cases We Handle
The workplace accident attorneys at Oberheiden Law Group represent injured workers and their families after all types of industrial accidents requiring medical treatment or resulting in tragic and untimely deaths. This includes (but is not limited to):
Construction Accidents
Construction accidents are among the leading causes of serious injuries on the job. From inadequate safety equipment to property owner negligence (i.e., failing to remedy safety hazards), numerous issues can put construction workers at risk simply as a result of performing their job duties. If you have a claim involving a work-related accident on a construction site, the injury lawyers at our law firm are prepared to do everything we can to hold the at-fault party (or at-fault parties) fully accountable.
Manufacturing Accidents
Manufacturing accidents are common causes of workplace injuries as well. This includes accidents resulting from poor management of manufacturing facilities as well as inadequate equipment maintenance and a variety of other manufacturing-related issues.
This also includes chemical spills. If you have a personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death lawsuit related to a chemical spill, our industrial accident lawyers can investigate the circumstances surrounding the spill to determine who (or what company) is liable. Then, our lawyers can fight to secure a settlement from the liable party’s insurance company on your behalf.
Heavy Machinery and Other Motor Vehicle Accidents
Accidents involving heavy machinery and other motor vehicles are common causes of serious and fatal on-the-job injuries in industrial occupations. This includes forklift accidents and vehicle collisions on construction sites and other job sites, among others. In these cases, not only might victims and their families have claims against the at-fault driver, but they may have claims against the driver’s employer as well. Our injury lawyers represent victims and families after transportation accidents both on and off the job.
Accidents Involving Defective Industrial Equipment
Equipment failures and equipment malfunctions resulting from manufacturing defects and other issues are also common causes of on-the-job injuries resulting in permanent disabilities and other life-altering (or life-threatening) injuries. If you or a loved one was injured in an industrial accident involving defective equipment, the manufacturer may be fully liable for your (or your loved one’s) work-related injuries.
Accidents Involving Inadequate Safety Protocols
Industrial employers are required to follow numerous safety protocols enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other governmental authorities. Yet, accidents involving inadequate safety protocols are extremely common. As a result, many injured workers will have claims based on the fact that their physical pain and psychological injuries could—and should—have been avoided.
Other Workplace Accidents
Industrial accidents occur under a wide range of other circumstances as well. No matter what happened, if you need to seek compensation for the costs of medical treatment, lost wages, and other losses resulting from any type of workplace accident, we strongly encourage you to contact us for a free consultation today. Workers who suffer injuries and family members who lose loved ones have clear legal rights, and our workplace injury lawyers are committed to fighting for justice on behalf of victims and their families.
Most Common Workplace Injuries from Industrial Accidents
Industrial accidents can leave all types of workers suffering from serious workplace injuries. These injuries can lead to expensive medical bills, and they can leave workers and their families facing a variety of other financial and non-financial losses as well.
Our industrial accident lawyers handle cases involving all types of workplace injuries, including (but not limited to) common injuries such as:

As a client of our law firm, you will have extensive experience on your side, and you can feel confident knowing that we truly have your best interests in mind.
Damages Available to Victims and Families in Industrial Accident Cases
In industrial accident cases, we help injured clients and grieving family members seek compensation for all of the losses they are entitled to recover. This includes (but is not limited to):
Medical Bills and Other Out-of-Pocket Costs
Injured workers and their families can seek compensation for their past, present, and future medical bills and other out-of-pocket costs through the claims process. This includes compensation for the costs of all necessary treatment from qualified medical professionals, as well as costs for prescriptions, medical devices, and other necessities.
Lost Wages, Benefits, and Future Earnings
Along with medical expenses and other out-of-pocket costs, industrial accident victims and their families can also seek compensation for their lost wages, benefits, and future earnings. These losses can be substantial, so it is critical to work with an experienced work injury lawyer who can help ensure you are seeking the full compensation to which you are legally entitled.
Pain and Suffering, Emotional Trauma, and Other Non-Financial Losses
Victims and family members who have industrial accident claims can seek compensation for their pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and other non-financial losses as well. Serious and fatal workplace accidents can have devastating consequences, and it is critical for victims and their families to fight for the financial support they will need to move on.
FAQs: Seeking to Recover Compensation for a Serious or Fatal Workplace Accident
Can (and Should) I File a Workers Compensation Claim After an Industrial Accident?
While filing for workers compensation benefits is often an option after an industrial accident, in many cases, it is not the only option available. When you schedule a free consultation with an industrial accident lawyer at Oberheiden Law Group, your lawyer will assess all of your options for seeking to recover compensation for your medical expenses, loss of income, and other financial and non-financial losses. This includes not only the possibility of filing a workers compensation claim, but the possibility of filing a personal injury or wrongful death claim as well.
Does Workers Comp Cover All of the Costs of a Serious Industrial Accident?
No, workers comp does not cover all of the costs of a serious industrial accident—and this is one of many reasons why it is important to consult with an experienced industrial accident lawyer promptly. Typically, workers comp only covers medical bills and a portion of your average weekly wage (or provides death benefits in fatal accident cases). If you have a claim outside of workers comp, an experienced industrial accident lawyer will be able to help you seek full compensation for all of your financial and non-financial losses.
When Can Injured Workers File a Personal Injury Lawsuit for Serious Injuries from an Industrial Accident?
Injured workers can file personal injury lawsuits for industrial accidents in several circumstances. While workers compensation laws generally prohibit employees from suing their employers (though there are exceptions), these laws do not prohibit injured workers from suing property owners, contractors, and other parties that are liable for their injuries.
When Can Families File Wrongful Death Lawsuits for Fatal Industrial Accidents?
Families can file wrongful death lawsuits for fatal industrial accidents in a wide range of circumstances as well. If you have tragically lost a loved one in a fatal industrial accident, we offer our deepest sympathies, and we strongly encourage you to contact us so that we can help you.
