New Orleans Industrial Accident Attorneys

Representing Louisiana’s Industrial Workers

Industrial workplaces can be very dangerous. Employees must operate and work close to heavy machinery, chemicals, and complex equipment. A single mistake or malfunction can cause an accident that leaves a worker suffering from a catastrophic injury that changes the course of their life. Severe burns, crush injuries, amputation, and toxic exposure are all possible consequences of an industrial accident. Injured workers deserve the best medical treatment and compensation to replace lost wages, plus more.

What to Do After a Louisiana Industrial Accident

The time after an industrial accident is confusing. It is also critical. What you do and say (and what you don’t do and don’t say) can have a direct impact on your ability to recover compensation for your injuries.

If you’ve been harmed in a Louisiana industrial accident:

• Tell your employer. Make sure you report any work-related injury or accident to your employer as soon as possible. Tell your supervisor or manager in writing and keep a copy for your records. If you’re a union member, you may also need to report your injury to your union representative.
• Get medical help. Always see a doctor after an industrial accident, even if you don’t believe you were seriously injured. Tell the doctor what happened so they know what type of injury to look for. Getting medical attention early on is the best way to protect your health.
• Follow your doctor’s orders. Be sure to follow your doctor’s treatment plan so you have the best chance at recovering. You will probably be required to see the company doctor, but remember that you can choose your own doctor if you are unhappy with your treatment.
• Talk to an attorney. Involving a Louisiana industrial accident attorney is the best way to protect your interests in the aftermath of a serious injury. If your employer, their insurance company, or any other person or company tries to interfere with your right to compensation and your ability to recover, your attorney can defend your interests and protect your well-being.

Of course, every accident is different. Use your best judgment to decide what steps are right based on your unique situation and needs.
