Industrial Accidents
Sadly, industrial accidents are a common occurrence. Factory employees, those whose jobs require them to work with various chemicals and construction workers face occupational dangers that workers in other fields do not. We strongly advise employees who work in fields that have higher fatality and injury rates to be prepared by having a legal representative that they trust at hand in case they experience a work related injury. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the following industries contributed the highest rates of work fatalities and injuries in 2009:
- Construction: 818 construction workers lost their lives due to onsite accidents in 2009.
- Transportation and Warehousing: In 2009, transportation and warehouse factory accidents were responsible for 579 fatalities.
- Manufacturing: 579 workers lost their lives in the manufacturing industry last year.
Work Injury Compensation Claims
Many who are injured on the job receive their injuries from accidents that they are not responsible for. The two most common types of work accidents are automobile accidents and industrial machinery accidents. Oftentimes, those injured are hurt by another’s driving or by equipment that contains marketing, manufacturing or design defects.
