There are numerous everyday hazards that come with working in a factory. If you have been injured on the job at a factory, you can recoup your damages with a workers' compensation claim.

At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we can push for maximum compensation for a workplace injury suffered at a factory plant. In past case results, we have secured hundreds of thousands of dollars in workers' comp claims for our clients. When you work with our firm, your case will be handled with care and diligence as we explore all avenues of payment for your injuries.

Causes of Factory Accidents

Even with safety regulations in place, accidents can still happen. Common accidents in a factory plant may include:

• Slip and Fall Accidents: Obstructions or spills on the factory floor could create a fall hazard, possibly leading to a head or back injury.
• Heavy Machinery Accidents: Forklifts, conveyor belts, and industrial presses can collapse or malfunction unexpectedly, leading to workers getting caught and injured.
• Falling Objects: Falling tools or debris can pose a serious risk to workers on the factory floor, especially to those without protective equipment.

After an accident, you should report it to your employer as soon as possible. If you do not report the accident within 30 days, you could lose your right to get workers' compensation. Make sure to note the details in writing and keep a copy of the document for yourself. At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, our attorneys can submit this letter on your behalf if you are unable to.

Getting Compensation For Your Injury

Under state law, a factory is obligated to provide its employees with workers' compensation for work-related injuries. Fault does not factor into workers' compensation claims, so you can get paid for your damages even if you were partially to blame for the accident.

However, the insurer could still choose to deny your workers' compensation claim even if you filed it on time. The insurance company could dispute the claim by suggesting that the injury was not work-related. At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we can document medical evidence to prove your injury arose from conditions at the factory, such as fractures or back injuries.

Compensation for these injuries may vary depending on the extent of your damage. At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we can sit down with you to see if you are eligible for permanent disability payments alongside your medical benefits.

Additional Compensation for Factory Injuries

Sometimes, workers' compensation alone is not enough to address your injuries. At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, our attorneys may be able to help you secure additional payment through a third-party claim. These claims involve a liable party aside from your employer who may have played a part in the accident.

For instance, if you were injured in an accident involving a defective forklift, you could then file a claim against the manufacturer of the forklift for their negligence. We can help you identify potential third parties who can be held liable for an accident at a factory.
