Common Types of Industrial Accidents
Welders, forklift operators, machinery operators, woodworkers, construction workers and others who work in industrial environments can be injured in a variety of ways on the job. Common types of industrial and manufacturing accidents may include:
- Defective or dangerous ladders or scaffolding
- Faulty manufacturing machines and other equipment
- Explosions and fires
- Exposure to dangerous chemicals
- Roof or ladder collapses
- Structural accidents
- Power tool defects and accidents
Frequently, after an industrial accident, workers’ compensation benefits are not enough to cover the medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and long term medical rehabilitation needed by injured workers. Often, bringing a third-party personal injury claim is in the best interests of victims and their families.
