How Our Chemical Plant Injury Attorney in Hammond Can Help You
Whether you are an employee hurt on the job or someone in the community suffering from injuries due to a chemical plant exposure, our legal team is ready to help. We bring over 120 years of combined legal experience to your case. In these high-risk claims, that experience can be critically important.
When you hire us, we handle every facet of your case, including:
- Determining fault. We gather all the evidence possible to determine fault. In some cases, a third-party, not your employer, could be responsible. That could extend your compensation recovery if you were hurt on the job.
- Hold insurance companies truly accountable. No matter how many loopholes exist, you can expect us to demonstrate your losses and fight for the fierce recovery of your damages. We do not give up on an easy settlement.
- Go to court when we need to. Most of our cases settle out of court in our clients’ favor. However, our trial-experienced attorneys have the necessary skills and proven track record to go to trial when needed.
You are suffering because of others’ negligence or oversight. We want to fight for you to have a voice and receive fair compensation. Speak to our chemical plant injury attorney in Hammond now to learn what your rights are under the law.
We Can Handle Third-Party Claims
Chemical plant injuries often involve employees suffering from defective products, a lack of safety equipment or training, or ineffective equipment.
In these situations, you may be able to file a workers’ compensation claim for your injuries, including all medical expenses and, in some cases, lost income. In cases of serious disability, expect us to pursue fair compensation for permanent disability.
In some situations, we may be able to show that a third-party, such as the manufacturer of equipment or a subcontractor, caused the accident to occur that resulted in your injuries. In doing so, we will demonstrate that they should pay for all of your losses. If we can file a negligence claim, you may be eligible to receive compensation for pain and suffering, as well as other losses.
In other cases, we work with victims to seek compensation from plants that fail to operate safely and cause injuries to community members or visitors to the site. This may mean exposure-related risks or unsafe conditions surrounding the chemical plant. If you were hurt as a non-employee, speak to us about your rights to file a claim.
We Complete a Full Investigation to Prove Your Rights
As the victim of a chemical plant accident, we encourage you to reach out to us no matter what type of relationship you have with the at-fault party. You may not even know who is at fault.
We will review your case and obtain all available documentation to hold those responsible accountable. Some of the evidence we may seek includes:
- Documentation of adherence to OSHA standards for chemical plants, including 29 CFR 1910, which focuses on communication of hazards, exposure controls, and safety procedures.
- Witness statements indicating what happened and who was at fault
- Safety training that demonstrates accuracy in training methods
- Environmental testing that demonstrates unsafe conditions
- Previous injuries and accidents, like your own, and the actions the location took
These are just a few examples of the aggressive investigative methods we will use to gather critical data in your case. Expect us to bring in our team of industry experts to help clarify details to build a strong case and claim. There is no risk in speaking to us now about what happened to you. We can answer your questions.
