Construction Accidents Because construction accidents often involve heavy equipment, the resulting injuries can be permanent. Catastrophic injuries include the loss of a limb, spinal cord injury, or loss of vision, among other types of injuries. A construction accident may involve any of the following circumstances: Collapsed Scaffolding Commercial Vehicle Accidents Objects Falling From Elevated Areas Heavy Machinery Accidents Although workers’ compensation provides an injured worker with benefits and money, some injuries at a construction site are grounds for a third-party claim. A third party claim may be an option when another contractor on the site created the construction accident hazard through negligent conduct. Industrial Accidents Depending on the nature of the industry, an industrial accident can cause injuries ranging from fractures and broken bones to soft tissue injury and fatal workplace injury. A permanent disability that results from an industrial accident may make the employee eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. Our firm has handled industrial accident claims of all types, including: Furnace explosions Safety equipment failure Catwalk or scaffolding collapse Injuries due to lack of adequate railings Catastrophic failure of heavy machinery Falling objects from shelves or rigging In Oklahoma, cases of industrial accident injury are often resolved through the workers’ compensation system. In some cases, however, if a contractor or vendor who was working on-site contributed to the accident, a third-party claim may enable the injured party to collect additional damages. Oil Field Accidents Many times, oil field accidents that result from lack of proper training or use of safeguards are cases of negligence. The injured party often suffers because of negligence on the part of a contractor or third party other than their employer. These types of cases may qualify for a third-party claim. Oil field accidents often occur because workers are pressured to work long periods of strenuous labor without adequate rest. In some cases, they may also be compelled to ignore proper safety procedures in an effort to work faster. Common oil field accidents that may result include: Falls from Heights Fires and Explosions Electrocution Collapsed Rigs Oil Truck Accidents Defective Machinery Injuries Toxic Fumes Exposure Third Party Claims The workers’ compensation system protects businesses from being sued by their employees, but Oklahoma law has separate provisions for third-party claims for workplace accidents that are caused by a party other than the injured person’s employer. A third-party claim allows you to pursue additional compensation for pain and suffering and other damages that may result from a serious accident. Third party workplace injury claims can arise from the following circumstances: Construction vehicle accident on-site On-site commercial vehicle accident Objects falling from elevated areas Improperly stored or loaded equipment Improperly maintained safety equipment Failure to mark off a hazardous area Fighting for the Rights of Injured Workers for Over 30 Years Our team of Oklahoma City injury lawyers at the Law Offices of Dan Davis has been dedicated to advocating for the rights of injured employees for over 25 years.
