Industrial Accident Attorney in Fort Worth
Industrial Workers Deserve Better
Industrial accidents can be devastating to workers who are left disabled and incapacitated by inadequate safety measures. In many of these cases, their injuries or deaths could have been prevented if their employers had taken reasonable steps to implement proper training, provide protective gear, enforce lockout/tagout procedures, or carry out equipment maintenance. But instead of putting workers first, they prioritized profits and production.

-
Seek medical attention immediately and report the incident to your employer or supervisor. Document the details of the accident, including witnesses, and gather evidence such as photographs of the scene and your injuries. Contact a local industrial accident attorney in Fort Worth who can advise you of your rights and next steps, before you accept a settlement or sign anything.
-
In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the accident. If your employer carries workers' compensation insurance, these deadlines and the process are different. There may be exceptions depending on the specific circumstances, so it's best to consult an attorney as soon as possible.
-
If your employer carries workers' compensation insurance, those benefits are generally your exclusive remedy against your employer, and you typically cannot also sue them for negligence, except in cases of gross negligence resulting in death. If your employer is a "non-subscriber" to the workers' compensation system, which Texas uniquely allows, you may be able to sue them directly. Either way, you may still be able to pursue a claim against a third party, such as an equipment manufacturer or another contractor, whose negligence contributed to the industrial accident.
-
Yes, you can claim compensation for emotional distress, especially if it has had a significant impact on your mental well-being and quality of life.
-
Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence system: you can recover compensation as long as you were 50% or less at fault, though your award will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
