Industrial Accidents

For victims of industrial accidents, it can be confusing to know where to turn. Very often, the first move of workers is to begin the process of filing for worker’s compensation. Yet that is not always the only claim, as sometimes the fault lies not with the employer, but with a third party. Victims of industrial accidents would be wise to contact an attorney first and foremost. An experienced lawyer would be able to determine a victim’s best course of action.

For over three decades, victims of industrial accidents in North Carolina have been turning to Brent Adams & Associates for the expertise they provide in cases involving industrial accidents.

Where to Turn

When someone is injured due to an accident at work, they have a workers compensation claim. The worker can recover without proving negligence on the part of the employer. If the accident were caused by a third party (someone or some entity other than the employer) the worker would also have a claim against that third party. As an example, if a worker is injured as a result of defective equipment, a claim may be made against the manufacturer of the equipment. This claim would be made in state or federal court as a personal injury claim.

Both the workers compensation claim and the third party claim could be made at the same time.

The waters surrounding industrial accidents can be murky and difficult to traverse, with many different rules, regulations and procedures involved. That is why if you are the victim of an industrial accident, you need the help of the skilled attorneys at Brent Adams & Associates to guide you through your case so that you receive the compensation to which you’re entitled.

The Road to Recovery

Injuries resulting from industrial accidents can range in severity. The cause of an industrial accident can include improperly working equipment, explosions, electrocution, falls, and other hazards. In some cases, the recovery can occur quickly, but there are many instances when a victim’s convalescence is long and trying. Physical pain can take a while to heal, and sometimes it’s chronic. Yet the scars aren’t always on the surface; psychological health can also suffer greatly. It’s important to realize that Brent Adams & Associates will seek every legal recourse to ensure you’re awarded the compensation you or your family deserves, no matter what type of injury you sustained.

Seeking Legal Recourse
