Industrial Accident Lawyer in Alabama and Georgia
Jobsite Injuries Deserve Serious Legal Help
Focused on Third-Party & High-Stakes Industrial Claims
Industrial jobs are dangerous—especially when contractors, equipment suppliers, or site owners cut corners. When an injury happens because of someone else’s negligence, workers and their families deserve more than basic benefits. We handle industrial accident cases where the employer may not be the only one responsible, including third-party lawsuits alongside workers’ comp. With over 40 years of litigation experience and a track record of complex casework, we’re prepared to dig deep and hold the right people accountable.
Types of Industrial Accident Cases
We Represent Workers in Serious, Complex Claims
We handle high-risk workplace cases involving severe injuries, unsafe conditions, and outside liability.
Machinery & Equipment Failures
When equipment malfunctions due to poor maintenance or design defects, the consequences can be devastating. We investigate manufacturer liability, repair records, and site conditions to uncover the truth.
Falls, Crushed Limbs & Electrocution
Jobsites often expose workers to unguarded heights, live electrical lines, or heavy machinery. We pursue claims against contractors and subcontractors who create unsafe work environments.
Explosion & Fire Injuries
We handle catastrophic burn injury and chemical exposure cases caused by failed safety systems, unmarked hazards, or negligent supervision. These claims often involve multiple defendants and expert testimony.
Third-Party Contractor Negligence
Many industrial injuries involve other companies working on the same site. We investigate whether a subcontractor’s mistake or lack of training contributed to your injuries.
Wrongful Death on the Job
When a fatal accident occurs in a factory, refinery, or construction site, we help families pursue wrongful death claims against third parties and recover damages beyond workers’ comp benefits.
Work Injury Laws Vary by State
We Handle Industrial Claims Across State Lines
Workplace injury laws in Alabama and Georgia have key differences—and understanding them can change the outcome of your case.
In both states, workers’ comp limits lawsuits against employers
but third-party claims are allowed when someone else caused the injury.
Alabama has strict deadlines and reporting rules
for injury claims, which must be met even while investigating outside liability.
Georgia allows concurrent workers’ comp and personal injury claims
which we can help coordinate for full recovery.
What Injured Workers Should Know
Industrial Accident FAQs
Can I sue someone after getting hurt at work?
You may be able to file a lawsuit if someone other than your employer caused the injury—like a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner. These are called third-party claims and can provide compensation beyond workers’ comp benefits. We help you identify who’s responsible and pursue all available options.
What’s the difference between workers’ comp and a lawsuit?
Workers’ comp provides limited benefits regardless of fault, covering basic medical care and partial wage replacement. A lawsuit requires proving fault, but can result in a broader recovery—including pain and suffering, full lost income, and long-term damages. We often handle cases involving both, especially when third-party negligence is involved.
What if I don’t know who caused the accident?
That’s common—and exactly why we investigate. We review accident reports, interview witnesses, inspect equipment, and consult with experts to determine how the injury happened and who may be legally responsible. You don’t need to know everything up front. That’s what we’re here for.
Do I need to act quickly after an industrial injury?
Yes. Time is critical in these cases, especially when you’re dealing with workplace reporting rules and companies eager to shift blame. Evidence like surveillance footage, maintenance logs, and safety inspections can disappear fast. The sooner we start, the stronger your case will be.
How much does it cost to hire a lawyer for this?
We handle industrial injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we recover money for you. This lets you focus on healing while we focus on building your case—no hourly fees, no financial risk.
