Fort Worth Workplace Accident Attorneys

Common Workplace Accident Claims We Handle

Construction Accidents

From constant infrastructure growth to new commercial builds, construction is one of the most dangerous industries. Accidents frequently involve scaffolding collapses, falls, electrocution, crush injuries, and struck-by injuries.

Warehouse Accidents

Amazon, FedEx, and other major retail suppliers employ workers in large warehouses, increasing the risk of injuries during loading dock accidents, forklift collisions, and accidents caused by collapsing pallet racks or falling inventory.

Commercial Transportation Accidents

Semi-truck operators, delivery drivers, and utility workers face extreme risks, especially on heavily congested corridors like I-35W and I-20. These accidents frequently involve catastrophic collisions with other commercial or passenger vehicles.

Manufacturing & Industrial Accidents

Manufacturing plants and industrial facilities rely on heavy, automated machinery, which can lead to accidents when workers are caught in conveyor belts, injured by defective factory equipment, or exposed to toxic chemicals.

Oilfield & Refinery Accidents

Many residents work in the oil and gas sector or at local refineries. These highly volatile work environments are prone to well blowouts, pipeline explosions, and fires, which can lead to severe injuries for oil and gas workers. 

Healthcare & Medical Facility Accidents

The medical district employs thousands of healthcare employees. Nurses, aides, and other medical staff in this sector often suffer injuries from lifting patients, repetitive strain, or slips and falls in fast-paced environments.

Proving Liability in a Workplace Accident Claim 

The plaintiff bears the burden of proof in workplace accident claims, making it crucial to contact our skilled attorneys as soon as possible. We can help you establish the following elements to prove liability by a preponderance of the evidence:

1. Duty of care. The negligent party owed you a legal duty, such as following OSHA safety protocols or producing reasonably safe equipment. 
2. Breach of duty. The negligent party failed to uphold their duty by acting negligently, such as ignoring known hazards or creating unsafe conditions. 
3. Causation. The negligent party’s failure to uphold their legal obligation directly caused your injuries to occur.
4. Damages. You suffered measurable harm as a result of the liable party’s negligence, such as lost wages or medical expenses. 

Bypassing the Limits of Workers’ Comp: How We Pursue Full Damages for Employees

Workers’ compensation is a corporate safety net that protects employers from lawsuits. While this system may cover basic medical bills and a portion of lost wages, it also prevents workers from recovering certain damages, such as compensation for physical pain or mental anguish. This can leave many hardworking families struggling to survive after life-altering accidents on the job.

However, you do not have to settle for pennies on the dollar if a third party other than your employer contributed to the accident. If your injuries resulted from a negligent contractor, subcontractor, supplier, maintenance company, or property owner, you may be entitled to seek justice in a third-party injury lawsuit. This legal avenue bypasses the strict financial caps of workers’ compensation.

A successful third-party lawsuit allows you to pursue 100% of your past and future lost earning capacity and opens the door to recovering damages for physical pain, emotional trauma, and reduced quality of life that workers’ compensation does not cover. We can meticulously review the evidence and advocate for the comprehensive financial recovery you need to rebuild your life.
