Phoenix, Arizona Construction Accident Attorney
It’s one of the most regulated areas of the construction industry, but it’s also one of the most dangerous. Welding accidents injure over 500,000 workers every year – and the injuries sustained due to a welding malfunction can lead to severe burns, even death. Read on for more information on welding accidents and your rights:
What kinds of welding accidents can occur on a job site? Welding accidents can range from UV burns to conditions such as arc eye, retinal tears or burns, even burns to the lungs or internal organs. Welding accidents can be caused by user error or malfunctions in welding equipment such as welding torches, welding tanks, welding masks, and more. Unfortunately, the individuals who are injured in these accidents can face the need for repeated medical intervention, vocational rehabilitation, and even lifelong disability or death.
Though welding is highly regulated and heavy safety equipment is used, equipment can fail and user error can lead to serious injury. Exposure to UV or IR radiation can lead to lifelong health problems. Though the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that construction workplaces be safe, some employers do not provide for a safe workplace and can fail to provide up-to-date equipment or gear for workers. This negligence can lead to disasters.
Luckily, the victims of welding accidents can take matters into their own hands, filing a civil lawsuit for financial compensation related to their injuries in some cases above and beyond what is traditionally available under workers compensation. Damages awarded in a welding accident case can cover the costs of past and future medical care, make up for lost wages, provide vocational rehabilitation or job training, and even help pay for the pain and suffering associated with the injury. Any worker looking to file such a lawsuit should do so after obtaining all of the relevant information from an experienced Arizona construction accident attorney, such as the ones who work at Breyer Law.
