- Workplace Injury
Personal injury law may cover a wide range of circumstances in which a person endures a physical and/or emotional injury as a result of another person’s negligence. This can include car wrecks, dog bites, and work-related harm. When you are on the job, your employer should have safety guidelines in place to keep you and your fellow coworkers out of harm’s way. If this is not considered, there is a significant risk you or others could be harmed in the process of completing necessary job duties. In today’s blog, the team at Crain Brogdon LLP in Dallas, TX discusses common injuries that can arise in the workplace and how to navigate them.
Long-Term Exposure To Toxic Substances
In some career fields, you could be exposed to toxic chemicals or materials on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the effects of these substances may not appear for several years. An example may include if you work in construction as a home remodeler and are exposed to substances such as asbestos, silica, and wood dust. These materials are linked to illnesses such as lung disease and cancer, which will require long-term medical treatment. In the state of Texas, you can technically file a workers’ compensation claim on your own for your illness, but keep in mind that it is not a straightforward process nor is it easy to do. Oftentimes, it is in a person’s best interest to speak with a trusted legal authority first.
It is also important to note that the specifics of your case will largely influence your legal options, and you should speak with an experienced attorney before filing your claim. If you begin to notice a change in your health or notable symptoms, seek medical attention as soon as possible for a diagnosis and contact our team for a consultation.

Injuries Caused By Unsafe Work Conditions
When you imagine a workplace injury, you may envision someone slipping on a spill or being injured by unsafe machinery. These are among some of the most common job-related injuries that an employee could face. In many instances, your employer has a legal obligation to protect employees while they are at work. This can include maintaining safe equipment, properly training all employees, and ensuring that safety policies are properly enforced and adhered to. If these steps are not taken and a person is harmed while working, the employer could be held responsible for negligence. As an example, someone working in the sanitation department may need to operate large trash compactors. If the machinery is not correctly maintained, a worker could be at risk of the machinery jamming and injuring them if they attempt to fix it. A workplace injury can also result in emotional distress while at your job, making it difficult and sometimes impossible to complete duties while keeping your injury in mind.
