Most Dangerous Workplaces

Workplace injuries can happen in any industry, but some jobs are inherently more dangerous than others. In San Antonio and throughout Texas, workers in the following industries face a higher risk of injury:

  • Construction: Falls from heights, scaffold collapses, and equipment accidents make construction one of the most hazardous industries.
  • Oil and Gas: Workers face risks from explosions, fires, and exposure to toxic substances on rigs and at refineries.
  • Transportation and Warehousing: Truck drivers and warehouse employees frequently suffer injuries from vehicle accidents, heavy lifting, and falling objects.
  • Manufacturing: Operating heavy machinery and exposure to hazardous materials lead to numerous injuries in manufacturing facilities.
  • Healthcare: Nurses, aides, and other healthcare professionals often experience overexertion injuries and exposure to infectious diseases.

Common Types of Work Injuries

Workplace injuries vary widely in severity and type. Some of the most common injuries our San Antonio work injury lawyers handle include:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Caused by falls, falling objects, or vehicle accidents.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Often result from falls, heavy lifting, or machinery accidents.
  • Burns: Caused by fires, explosions, or exposure to chemicals.
  • Fractures and Broken Bones: Result from falls, vehicle collisions, or being struck by heavy objects.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Including sprains, strains, and repetitive stress injuries.
  • Occupational Illnesses: Such as respiratory conditions from inhaling toxic substances or repetitive motion injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome.

These injuries can lead to significant medical expenses, time away from work, and long-term disabilities.

Common Causes of Work Injuries

Workplace accidents are often preventable. Unfortunately, negligence by employers, contractors, or other parties frequently leads to unsafe working conditions. Common causes of work injuries include:

  • Lack of Proper Training: Workers without adequate training are more likely to make mistakes or operate equipment unsafely.
  • Unsafe Equipment: Defective or poorly maintained tools and machinery can lead to serious accidents.
  • Falls: Slippery floors, unguarded heights, and unstable scaffolding contribute to many workplace falls.
  • Overexertion: Lifting heavy objects, repetitive motions, and long hours can result in debilitating injuries.
  • Exposure to Hazardous Materials: Lack of protective gear or improper handling of chemicals can cause burns, respiratory issues, and other health problems.
  • Motor Vehicle Accidents: Truck drivers, delivery drivers, and workers operating vehicles on the job are at high risk of collisions.

When negligence plays a role in your workplace injury, we work tirelessly to hold the responsible parties accountable.

What to Do After a Work Injury in Texas

Taking the right steps after a workplace injury is crucial for protecting your health and legal rights. If you've been injured on the job in San Antonio, follow these steps:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health should be your top priority. Visit a doctor immediately to document your injuries and begin treatment.
  2. Report the Injury: Notify your employer as soon as possible. Texas law requires employees to report work-related injuries within 30 days.
  3. Document the Incident: Gather evidence, such as photographs of the accident scene, witness statements, and a written account of what happened.
  4. File a Workers' Compensation Claim: If your employer carries workers' compensation insurance, file a claim to receive benefits for medical expenses and lost wages.
  5. Consult a Work Injury Lawyer: Even if your employer has workers' compensation, you may be entitled to additional compensation through a third-party claim. A lawyer can help you explore all your options.

Recovering Compensation After a Work Injury

In Texas, recovering compensation after a workplace injury depends on your employment situation and the circumstances of your case. Workers' compensation benefits may cover medical expenses and a portion of lost wages, but they often fall short of addressing the full scope of your damages.

At Kemmy Law Firm, P.C., we explore all available avenues for compensation, including:

  • Workers' Compensation Claims: If your employer provides workers' comp, we ensure you receive the benefits you are entitled to.
  • Third-Party Claims: If a party other than your employer (such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner) contributed to your injury, we can pursue a third-party lawsuit for additional damages.
  • Non-Subscriber Claims: Texas does not require employers to carry workers' compensation insurance. If your employer is a non-subscriber, we can file a lawsuit directly against them for negligence.

Compensation may include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Future earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability or disfigurement

We fight to secure the maximum compensation available under the law, so you can focus on your recovery.

    • Wrongful Death
      You might have the opportunity to pursue a wrongful death action when you lose a family member due to someone else’s wrongful or reckless acts. However, you must act quickly on your wrongful death claim, as the statute of limitations is only two years from the decedent’s death, according to Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code 16.003(b).
    • Property Damages
      Property damage claims are often filed when your personal property is damaged through vandalism, theft, or dangerous weather conditions, such as a hurricane, tornado, flooding, or other acts of God. Fortunately, when pursuing a property damage claim, you will have a maximum of two years to get your claim filed before the Texas statute of limitations for property damage claims expires.
    • Personal Injury

      Personal injury claims encompass a wide array of accidents and injuries. For example, if you were diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury caused by a motor vehicle accident, such as a car crash or truck accident, you may have the right to pursue a civil claim against the liable party. Other examples of personal injury cases could include:

      If you file a personal injury according to Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code 16.003(a), you will have a maximum of two years to file before the statute of limitations runs out.
