INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS OVERVIEW:

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT LAW

The legal issues involved with a personal injury or death occurring on an industrial or  manufacturing plant accident site can be complicated due to the location and ownership of the site itself and the many parties in question. Often after a worker is injured, representatives and lawyers of the different companies will meet and discuss the details of the accident, hire investigators and photographers to document the site. Access to the injured employee or his family to also photograph the site or the equipment involved is usually blocked requiring the hiring of an attorney to intervene and protect the evidence and gain access to the site for an investigation.

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

Once hired, an accident attorney should hire a private investigator to start interviewing witnesses of the accident and research the ownership of the facility and the names and position of authority and responsibility of all parties involved. The accident lawyer should then write or contact the companies and demand access to the facility and obtain a written agreement that the evidence or accident site in question be preserved until it has been inspected by the injured parties attorneys and engineers. If an agreement can not be reached as to the preservation of the site, then an immediate lawsuit or injunction would need to be filed and get the court to order the inspection. The quicker an attorney gets involved the better. Time can sometimes be our worst enemy in accident cases. Workplaces change, workers move and memories often fade. Call us now if we can help.
