Experienced personal injury attorneys who know how to get results
Each of us wants to go home from work healthy and safe, but sometimes injuries occur at work due to the negligence of the employer or a third party. Throughout the Houston metropolitan area, Smith & Hassler industrial accident attorneys have witnessed tragic workplace accidents at oil refineries, chemical plants, and other businesses.
Our personal injury attorneys fight to provide injured workers with the compensation they deserve. Accidents at oil refineries and chemical plants in Texas sometimes result in death or serious injury. We have handled refinery and industrial plant accidents in Houston, Galveston, Baytown, and throughout Texas. These accidents often include:
Explosion
Burnt
Bone fractures (often due to falling heavy objects)
Slip and fall accidents
Exposure to chemicals
Injured workers often have to deal with pain and suffering. They may have financial problems due to high medical bills and lost wages. An employee’s life – and the life of an employee’s family – can change drastically in an instant.
Smith & Hassler fights for injured workers
If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, the employee is entitled to financial compensation. The laws surrounding these types of accidents can be complicated and it can be difficult to obtain compensation. Our experienced work injury attorneys understand Texas law and what it takes to get results.
Whether you were injured in Galveston, Baytown, or anywhere in the Houston metropolitan area, we will vigorously defend your rights if you are injured on the job. Smith & Hassler will fight for the compensation you deserve. Tell them you are serious. If you have a work-related injury or illness (such as asbestos poisoning, industrial machinery injury, wrist injury, or fall on the job), our attorneys can help you.
Workplace accidents often result from an employer’s failure to:
Supervise employees
Provide a safe work environment
Train employees appropriately
Provide employees with the protective equipment they need to do their jobs
Often it’s not just employers who are to blame. We have seen workers injured due to third-party negligence.
Texas has a workers’ compensation system, but most private employers are not required to participate. Whether your accident was caused by the negligence of your employer or a third party, we know how to approach the insurance company so that you receive the financial compensation you deserve for your injuries.
