Industrial Accidents

Baytown, Texas, Industrial Attorneys

People who are injured in industrial accidents often don't know their rights under our civil justice system. Often it takes an experienced lawyer to help you sort it all out. At The Linebaugh Law Firm in Baytown, Texas, we offer a free initial consultation to explain what you can do.

There are several possible scenarios for industrial accidents. Some of these scenarios may be:

• If your injury is caused only by a co-worker and your employer subscribes to workers' compensation, then your only action may be for workers' compensation benefits. You will probably need a workers' compensation lawyer, and we will refer you to one who can handle that case.
  
  
• Now let's change the facts. Suppose you're injured at work and your employer does not carry workers' compensation insurance. In this situation, you may have a case against your employer. Our lawyers can investigate the accident and find out whether your employer had the right safety procedures, the right training, and/or the right equipment in place to prevent your injury.
  
  
• Now let's change the facts again. Suppose you were injured by a pipe that fell off the trailer of an 18-wheeler that was making a delivery at your plant. In this set of facts, you could apply for workers' compensation from your employer and still make a case against the trucking company.
  
  
• If the injury was caused by a dangerous product, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the company that manufactured the product or the store that sold the product.

Whenever the facts change, different remedies may be available to you. That's why it's important for your lawyer to learn the details of what happened.

We are experienced in handling all types of industrial accident cases, including petrochemical and pipeline explosions cases.
