Committed and Understanding Industrial & Workplace Accident Lawyers

Helping Mississippi Industrial Accident and Workplace Injury Victims Rebuild Their Lives

Working in manufacturing and industrial plants is often difficult and dangerous work. It can mean tedious and grueling job duties and long hours for the worker.  A simple mistake in the routine of an industrial worker handling hazardous equipment or heavy machinery can cause serious injury or wrongful death.
Workplace related injuries can be tragic and catastrophic when they involve severe burning, electrocution or serious injuries to the brain or spine. Other workplace related injuries, such as broken bones, injured arms and legs, internal injuries, eyesight and hearing damage, or repetitive motion injury, can be less severe but still disabling to the worker. Any of these injuries can prevent a worker from being able to perform his or her job and have life long negative physical effects on the worker. This can, in turn, lead to psychological trauma and post-traumatic stress syndrome.

If you suffer serious injury or you have lost a loved one in a wrongful death, you may face enormous emotional stress and financial hardship.  Serious injuries suffered in an industrial setting may result in permanent disability and substantial medical expenses resulting in severe financial stress and hardship to you and your family.  The stress and anxiety that accompanies a serious injury only compound this financial stress.

Third Party Claims vs. Worker’s Compensation: Obtaining the Full Measure of Damages

If you are injured at work, whether your injury is severe or minor, you should contact Barrett Law, PLLC so that we can fully investigate the cause of the accident and determine who is at fault. We will assist you in obtaining a copy of the accident report and photographs of the accident scene.  You should not hesitate to exercise your rights by contacting the experienced Mississippi industrial workplace injury lawyers at Barrett Law, PLLC.  Worker’s compensation may limit your recovery against your employer if you injury occurred in the workplace.  However, a Mississippi worker’s compensation claim does not require that you prove fault.

Depending on the facts of your specific situation, it is possible that your workplace industrial injury may be the result of the negligence of a third party, which may create a basis for initiating a personal injury lawsuit.  A personal injury lawsuit for injuries suffered in a workplace or industrial accident may result in the full measure of your loss including:

• • Lost wages
  • Medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost future income (i.e. permanent disability)
  • Loss of Consortium (loss of services/companionship of a spouse)
