What Is an Industrial Accident?
Industrial accidents are incidents that cause injury or death to workers or other individuals in industrial environments. They frequently occur in factories, construction sites, warehouses, and other hazardous locations.
Common Injuries Resulting from Industrial Accidents
Industrial accidents often lead to catastrophic harm due to the hazardous nature of the work and equipment involved. Common injuries resulting from industrial accidents include:
- Burns. Workers in industries like manufacturing, construction, and oil and gas are at a high risk for burn injuries due to exposure to heat sources, chemicals, and electrical currents.
- Amputations. Workers who operate heavy machinery or work with sharp tools are at risk for limb loss and amputations in an accident.
- Traumatic brain injuries. TBIs and head trauma are common in industrial accidents, leading to long-lasting physical and cognitive impacts.
- Broken bones. Heavy machinery, falling objects, and slip-and-fall accidents commonly lead to broken bones and fractures in industrial settings.

How Can I Seek Compensation After an Industrial Accident?
If you were injured in an industrial accident in Seattle, you may be entitled to compensation through two potential legal avenues:
Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Most injured workers are eligible for workers’ compensation through Washington’s Department of Labor & Industries (L&I). Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, meaning that injured workers aren’t required to prove fault to recover benefits. However, this path offers limited compensation and may not cover full wage replacement, pain and suffering, and other losses that are vital to your recovery.
Third-Party Injury Lawsuit
In addition to workers’ compensation benefits, injured workers may also be entitled to additional compensation in a third-party lawsuit. Unlike workers’ compensation claims, an industrial accident claim requires you to prove fault to recover damages. Consulting a knowledgeable industrial accident lawyer is paramount to establishing liability and recovering the full settlement you deserve.
While third-party lawsuits can result in more substantial settlements than workers’ comp claims, the legal process is often lengthier and more complex. Our firm can carefully assess your case to determine the best course of action and maximize the amount of compensation available to you while protecting your rights in and out of the courtroom.
