Manufacturing and Warehouse Accidents in Pennsylvania
Manufacturing plants and warehouses can be dangerous places. Workplace injuries can be severe — and can even result in wrongful death. If you have been injured at work in a factory or warehouse, or if a loved one died in a factory or warehouse accident, you may be entitled to full benefits under Pennsylvania workers' compensation laws.
Make sure you fully understand and protect your rights to workers' compensation benefits. Contact a Philadelphia work injury attorney at Fenner & Boles today to discuss your workers' comp claim and disability benefits.
Manufacturing Plant Accidents and Warehouse Accidents
When an unsafe conveyor grabs a worker's sleeve, when a forklift falls over, or when materials on high shelves fall on a worker, the resulting injuries can be terrible. A forklift accident or chemical burns may leave you unable to return to work. Our Philadelphia workplace injury lawyers handle workers' comp claims related to all types of manufacturing plant accidents and warehouse accidents, including accidents involving:
- Inadequate safety harnesses
- Dangerous chemicals or hazardous materials
- Dangerous or defective machinery
- Forklift and scaffolding accidents
- Other industrial accidents
Know your rights. An employer may try to minimize your injuries and say you do not need to file a workers' comp claim.
When you talk to a workers' compensation lawyer at Fenner & Boles, we will make sure you are treated with the respect and attention you deserve.
Manufacturing Accident Injuries
On-the-job accidents can result in many types of workplace injuries for workers in a manufacturing plant or factory, such as:
- Loss of limb or amputation
- Back or neck injury
- Spinal cord injury (paralysis)
- Electrical shock or chemical burns
- Traumatic brain injury
- Hearing loss
A relatively minor injury like a fractured ankle could result in a neurological disorder known as RSD. A back injury could prevent a factory worker from returning to a job he or she has done for many years. Do not settle a claim until you are sure you know the full extent of your medical condition and how it will affect your future.
