Houston On-the-Job Injury Lawyer

Common workplace accidents

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to follow strict standards to protect workers’ rights to perform their jobs in a safe, healthy environment. If your employer has violated OSHA regulations and Texas laws, you have a cause of action to recover compensation for resulting injuries.

Texas Board certified personal injury trial law attorney Shane R. Kadlec has more than 15 years of experience advocating for the rights of injured workers. He can assist you for injuries resulting from:

  • Falls
  • Heavy lifting
  • Explosions
  • Industrial fires
  • Oil field accidents
  • Falling pipe injuries
  • Falling objects
  • Chemical exposure
  • Breathing in airborne particles
  • Repetitive motions
  • Crushes of hands and feet in machinery
  • Injuries caused by co-workers

Accidents resulting in death

Workplace fatalities occur more frequently than many realize. In 2009, 480 deaths on the job were reported in Texas alone. It is a common misconception that if a person is killed at work and their employer has workers compensation coverage, that person's family cannot bring a wrongful death claim. This is simply not the case. Attorney Shane R. Kadlec helps you file suit – regardless of the employer's coverage – when your loved one has died at work and it could have been avoided.

Industrial accidents

When employers fail to follow stringent procedures to ensure workplace safety, industrial workers are put at grave risk of harm and death. Common industrial injuries include amputations, paralysis, lung disease, cancer and head injuries resulting in permanent disability. Houston industrial accident attorney Shane R. Kadlec represents seriously injured workers and family members whose loved ones have been killed in industrial accidents.
