San Diego Industrial Accident Lawyer
Getting Compensation Beyond Workers' Comp
Although workers' compensation benefits are intended to serve as the primary source of financial recovery for people injured at work, the workers' comp system generally prohibits an employee from suing an employer for negligence resulting in a severe accident. At The McClellan Law Firm, our experience with the investigation and presentation of complex injury claims against manufacturers of dangerous products gives injured workers an alternative approach to accident compensation that covers a much broader range of damages.
Need a San Diego Industrial Accident Attorney?
If you or a loved one has been injured in an industrial accident or other serious workplace injury, it may be possible to seek compensation beyond workers' compensation. To learn if our San Diego industrial injury lawyer can help with your case, call (619) 215-1488. In many cases, we will be able to identify a defendant who can be held liable for your lost income, future treatment expenses, and pain and suffering, even while your workers' compensation benefits application is pending or being paid.
Our Experience in Handling Industrial Accident Claims
With a carefully limited caseload that allows us to work closely and intensively with our clients and a team of forensic professionals from many disciplines, we can investigate and present a claim for significant damages in industrial, construction and other workplace accident claims.
Common claims include the following:
- Burn injuries suffered in industrial explosions
- Toxic chemical exposure injuries at refineries or factories
- Electrical accidents involving unmarked or exposed high-voltage power boxes
- Industrial machinery accidents involving punch presses, food service equipment, and more
- Forklift injuries or other accidents suffered in warehouses, on loading docks or at freight terminals
