Working in industrial jobs is risky, and in Montana, where industrial work is common, those risks are even higher. If you’ve been injured at work or lost a loved one in an industrial accident, Conner, Marr & Pinski is here to provide experienced and compassionate legal help. We understand how these accidents affect workers and their families, and we’re ready to help you get the compensation you need to recover.
Common Causes of Industrial Accidents in Montana
In Montana’s industrial fields—such as construction, mining, manufacturing, and logging—accidents are common. Some of the most frequent causes of injuries include:
- Falls: Accidents from high places, like scaffolding or ladders
- Heavy Lifting: Overexertion from lifting heavy objects
- Chemical Exposure: Burns or illnesses from toxic chemicals
- Machinery: Accidents caused by malfunctioning equipment
- Explosions and Fires: Risk of fires or explosions in hazardous environments
- Forklift and Tractor Accidents: Collisions involving heavy machinery
These accidents can cause serious, life-altering injuries, like spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and even death. If you or someone you care about has been hurt in an industrial accident, it’s important to explore all of your legal options.
Product Liability in Industrial Accidents
Sometimes, industrial accidents are caused by defects in products or machinery. If a piece of equipment malfunctions or a product is poorly designed, it can lead to serious injuries. This is where product liability comes in. If a defective product or piece of equipment caused your injury, you may have a claim against the manufacturer or seller of that product. These claims can be separate from workers’ compensation and can allow you to pursue compensation for things like pain, suffering, and emotional distress that workers' compensation doesn’t cover.
Why You Need Legal Help
When you’re dealing with the aftermath of an industrial accident, it’s important to have legal representation that understands the complexities of these cases. Workers’ compensation can help with medical bills and lost wages, but it doesn’t cover everything, like pain and suffering or emotional distress.
By pursuing a personal injury or product liability claim in addition to workers' compensation, you may be able to recover more for your losses. Our team is experienced in handling both types of claims, and we’ll guide you through the process to make sure you get the full compensation you're entitled to.
Common Industries in Montana With High Accident Rates
Some industries in Montana are more likely to see accidents due to the nature of the work. These include:
- Oil and Gas Rigs
- Mining Operations
- Manufacturing Plants
- Construction Sites
- Logging and Forestry
- Warehouses and Refineries
In these fields, accidents involving heavy machinery, exposure to dangerous chemicals, or unsafe working conditions are all too common. Employers are responsible for providing a safe working environment, and when they don’t, they should be held accountable for the harm caused.
