What is an Industrial Accident?

An “industrial accident” is a type of injury-causing accident that occurs in a manufacturing, or industrial environment and typically involves those who are working at the site. The term “industrial accident” is an umbrella term used to describe several accidents that can occur in a workplace setting.

Third Party Lawsuits vs. Workers’ Compensation Claims

While injured employees typically file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits to receive compensation for workplace injuries, this may not be an available option in every case. For instance, if an injured party suffers work-related injuries, but fails to meet the requirements for workers’ compensation, they will not be able to receive compensation through their employer’s workers’ compensation insurance.

In such cases, those who do not qualify for workers’ compensation could seek monetary damages from their employer and any other potentially liable parties involved by filing a civil injury lawsuit. For more information on the differences between each of these types of claims and the potential benefits of filing a third-party lawsuit, industrial accident victims should get in contact with a qualified industrial accident attorney in Birmingham.

Common Causes of Industrial Accidents

Since there are several lines of work in which industrial accidents most commonly occur, the specific cause of an industrial accident varies significantly on a case-by-case basis. Overall, some of the more common causes of industrial accidents include the following:

  • Machinery malfunctions
  • Air or sound pollution
  • Fire or explosions
  • Low visibility
  • Extreme fatigue

Depending on the particular cause of an industrial accident, there could be one or more parties potentially liable for damages stemming from a worker’s accidental injuries. To determine whether a party may be at-fault for causing an industrial accident, injured parties should seek legal advice from a knowledgeable civil litigator with experience handling industrial civil injury claims.
