What Is an Industrial Accident?

An industrial accident refers to any personal injury, illness, or fatality that occurs in the workplace due to unsafe conditions, faulty equipment, exposure to hazardous substances, or inadequate safety protocols. These accidents are common in high-risk industries such as:

  • Shipyards
  • Railroad
  • Manufacturing plants
  • Construction sites
  • Chemical processing plants

Mobile and the surrounding area has a thriving industrial economy, but this unfortunately comes with the potential for serious workplace injuries.

Common Causes of Industrial Accidents

Several factors contribute to industrial accidents in Mobile:

  • Faulty Equipment and Machinery: Defective tools or machinery can malfunction, leading to serious injuries such as amputations or crush injuries.
  • Exposure to Harmful Substances: Workers in industrial settings often encounter dangerous chemicals or toxic substances, which can result in respiratory issues or skin conditions.
  • Slip and Falls: Poorly maintained walkways or spills can cause workers to slip and sustain serious injuries.
  • Lack of Safety Protocols: Inadequate training or improper safety measures increase the risk of accidents in the workplace.
  • Employer Negligence: When employers fail to adhere to safety regulations or adequately maintain equipment, they put their workers at risk.

Compensation You May Be Entitled to After an Industrial Accident

Victims of industrial accidents are entitled to seek compensation for various damages, depending on the circumstances of the accident and the extent of their injuries. Compensation may include:

  • Medical Bills: Coverage for current and future medical expenses related to your injury, including surgery, rehabilitation, and medication.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for the wages lost while recovering from the injury.
  • Long-term Disability: If the accident results in a permanent disability, you may be entitled to long-term disability benefits.
  • Workers’ Compensation Benefits: Alabama’s workers’ compensation system provides coverage for medical treatment, a portion of lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. These benefits are typically available regardless of fault.
  • Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages to compensate for physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases of extreme negligence or intentional harm, you may be awarded punitive damages to hold the responsible party accountable.

If you’ve been injured, our industrial accident lawyers in Mobile will work to recover the maximum compensation available for your case. Schedule a free case review today to see what your case may be worth.

Steps to Take After an Industrial Accident

After an industrial accident, take the following steps to protect your rights and strengthen your case:

  1. Report the accident to your employer as soon as possible.
  2. Seek immediate medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor at first.
  3. Document everything, including photographs of the accident scene, equipment involved, and your injuries. Obtain witness statements if possible.
  4. Contact an industrial accident lawyer in Mobile for qualified legal advice on how to proceed with your claim. At Long & Long, our attorneys understand the specific challenges workers in local industries face and are ready to help you fight for full and fair compensation.

Alabama Laws Governing Industrial Accidents

Alabama’s Workers’ Compensation Act provides benefits for workers injured on the job, covering medical treatment, rehabilitation, and a portion of lost wages. Under Alabama law, most employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance.

  • Statute of Limitations: In Alabama, workers have 2 years from the date of the injury to file a workers’ compensation claim or a third-party lawsuit. Failing to meet this deadline can result in losing your right to compensation. However, there are other much shorter deadlines that can affect your claim. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to ensure all necessary steps are taken within the proper timeframe.
  • Third-Party Lawsuits: If a third party is responsible for the accident, such as a negligent contractor or equipment manufacturer, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit in addition to a workers’ compensation claim. Third-party lawsuits provide an opportunity to recover additional compensation for damages such as pain and suffering, which may not be covered under workers’ compensation.

Having an industrial accident attorney in Mobile who understands these legal requirements is essential to protect your rights and help ensure you receive the benefits and compensation you may be entitled to. Reach out today for a free case review.

Industrial Accident FAQs

Can I sue my employer for an industrial accident in Mobile?

In most cases, Alabama law prevents employees from suing their employers directly for workplace injuries if workers’ compensation is available. However, you may be able to file a third-party lawsuit against a negligent manufacturer or contractor.

What is the average settlement for an industrial accident case?

Settlement amounts vary depending on the severity of the injury, lost wages, and the cost of medical care. Our attorneys can provide an estimate based on your specific circumstances.

How long does it take to resolve an industrial accident claim?

The timeline depends on the complexity of the case, but claims can take anywhere from several months to a year or more. An experienced attorney can help expedite the process.

What rights do employees have under The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)?

OSHA protects employees by enforcing workplace safety regulations. You have the right to a safe working environment and can report unsafe conditions without fear of retaliation.

Can I file a wrongful death claim if my loved one died in an industrial accident?

Yes, if your loved one died in an industrial accident due to negligence or unsafe working conditions, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. In Alabama, wrongful death claims allow the family to seek compensation for the loss, including punitive damages to hold the responsible parties accountable.

How much does it cost to hire an industrial accident lawyer?

At Long & Long, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay any fees unless we win your case. This ensures that you can receive legal assistance without worrying about upfront costs. Schedule your free case review today.
