Industrial jobs and workplaces come with inherent hazards, including many serious injury risks. However, these worksites can be made safer with proper care by employers and worksite managers. Unfortunately, many employers cut corners to save on time or overhead costs. This results in unnecessarily dangerous work zones with issues such as a lack of worker safety training, no personal protection equipment, and malfunctioning or poorly maintained heavy machinery.
If a negligent employer, contractor or third party caused your recent industrial accident, you may have grounds to file a Houston personal injury lawsuit. Negligence means that someone failed to use a proper amount of care for the situation, resulting in harm to others. If an investigation finds that your industrial accident in Houston could have been prevented with due care, one or more parties may be financially responsible for your medical bills and other losses.
