Compensation for Work Related Injuries

Cincinnati Construction and Industrial Accidents Lawyers
If you work on or around construction and industrial sites, you understand the dangers involved. At Harris & Burgin, our construction and industrial accident lawyers have helped hundreds of people in the Cincinnati, Ohio area who were injured in industrial and construction accidents. We offer a free initial consultation to anyone who believes they have a valid claim.

If you have been injured in such an accident, you should immediately report the injury to your employer. Your employer is required by law to then give you the necessary workers’ compensation forms to make a claim. You should always file a claim if you have suffered any construction or industrial injury. Some examples of common industrial and construction accidents are:

Machine Related Injures
The use of any machinery can lead to serious workplace injuries. Machinery accidents can result in crush injuries, lacerations, broken bones, amputations, and other serious injuries.

Lifting Injuries
On many sites, heavy materials are constantly being lifted and carried. Work site lifting and carrying can result in back injuries, crushed limbs, spinal injuries, muscle strains, and other serious injuries.

Slips and Falls
It is a common occurrence to slip and fall at work. Work site slips and falls can result in back injuries, crushed limbs, spinal injuries, hand injuries, muscle strains, head trauma and numerous other serious injuries. It is also a common occurrence on many job sites for workers to climb  high off the ground to conduct a variety of different tasks. A person can easily fall and sustain critical injuries due to the resulting impact from high elevation falls.

Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA)
Many jobs require employee to drive to different locations during their work day. If an accident occurs while an employee is driving as a result of their work duties (this does not include the work commute itself) and are injured in an accident, they may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.

Electrical Shock
Construction and industrial sites often require electric cable to be above-ground and in the open on a factory floor. These cables can result in electric shocks that result in severe bums, brain trauma and other serious injuries.

Construction and Industrial Equipment
Nail guns, jackhammers, bulldozers, cranes, and heavy machinery are common on construction and industrial sites. Severed limbs, paralysis and even death can result from accidents involving such powerful machinery. Ladders and scaffolding are also the cause of many serious industrial and construction injuries.
