Industrial Injury Attorneys in Texas
Putting Your Recovery First
Industrial accidents can have a lasting negative impact on victims and their families. At Hilliard Law, we fight fiercely on your behalf so you may recover the compensation you deserve in an industrial injury claim.
From factories, warehouses, and construction sites, industrial workers make up the backbone of the economy across the U.S. Unfortunately, many industrial workplaces come with a high risk of accidents, which may cost workers their source of income and even their lives. Most employers and insurance companies will attempt to avoid awarding maximum benefits. With the help of an experienced industrial accident lawyer in Texas, we can fight against their attempts to delay payments or deny claims.
We believe you shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s negligence. Texas does not require employers to hold workers’ compensation benefits, which means you may seek compensatory damages in an industrial injury lawsuit. At Hilliard Law, our industrial accident attorneys in Texas have the extensive resources necessary to pursue a third-party claim on your behalf so you can focus on recovery.

Types of Industrial Injury Accidents We Handle
Even though there are strict safety regulations governing all industrial industries in the U.S., there are thousands of occupational fatalities annually. When employers or other liable parties overlook safety, training, or inspections, the following industrial accidents may result due to negligence:
Heavy Machinery Accidents
Heavy machinery may be essential to completing work tasks in some industrial workplaces. Many types of machinery require specific licensing and training. When workers are poorly trained or inexperienced, heavy machinery accidents may result due to employer negligence.
Explosions
There are various types of industrial explosions that can cause serious injuries due to high temperatures and toxic fumes released into the air. Chemical plant explosions, land rig explosions, pipeline explosions, and more may be catastrophic. We will conduct an investigation to determine whether improper safety standards, old equipment, poorly trained workers, or negligence contributed to the explosion accident.
Forklift Accidents
When forklifts are overloaded, improperly maintained, or incorrectly used, they may cause catastrophic industrial injuries. If you were harmed in a forklift accident, the industrial injury lawyers at Hilliard Law can help you seek damages through an industrial accident claim.
Electrical Accidents
Electrical shock, electrocution, and other electrical injuries can occur when an industrial worker comes into contact with electricity. Depending on the length of exposure and strength of the current, an electrical accident can cause serious burns and even heart damage. These types of accidents may be caused by floating power lines, frayed cords, faulty wiring, and electrical equipment in contact with water.
Recoverable Damages in a Successful Industrial Accident Claim
Industrial accidents may be complex due to the extensive resources of large, powerful corporations or entities that may try to deny liability. If your employer doesn’t provide workers’ compensation benefits, you may seek legal recourse through a third-party claim with the help of a skilled lawyer from Hilliard Law.
In a successful industrial injury claim, you may recover the following economic and non-economic damages:
- Medical expenses
- Physical therapy
- Rehabilitation
- Surgeries
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Physical impairment or disability
- Disfigurement
- Scarring
- Loss of enjoyment of life
You hold the burden of proof to demonstrate negligence in an industrial injury claim. We can help you collect the necessary evidence, such as eyewitness testimony, surveillance footage, and more, that may demonstrate a breach of duty of care.
