Why You Need A Welding Accident Lawyer

After your welding accident, you may be unable to focus on anything besides your health. In addition to filing a workers' compensation claim for you, a workplace injury lawyer will handle any complications with your employer and their insurer to help maximize the benefits you're entitled to. They will also conduct an independent investigation into your welding accident right away, to determine if your injury was caused by:

  • Unsafe working conditions
  • Inadequate safety and training
  • Faulty equipment or the negligence of a co-worker

The purpose of doing so is to collect evidence in the event that your workers' compensation claim is denied, as well as to discover if any third parties are liable. If a subcontractor or defective equipment has contributed to your welding injury, for example, there may be opportunities for additional compensation. Workers' comp benefits should pay for medical care costs and a portion of lost wages, but a third-party liability claim can include areas that aren't covered.

Common Tyles Of Welding Injuries

Welders frequently suffer from the following injuries:

  • Radiation: welding produces intense heat, light, sparks, and radiation. Exposure to UV rays may lead to eye injuries such as photokeratitis, also known as Welder's Flash or Arc Eye.
  • Breathing Complications: from being exposed to various toxic fumes and gases.
  • Electrical Shock: this is the most common injury, as it can occur from touching a part of the welding circuit while any part of a welder's body is in contact with the metal being welded.
  • Burns or explosion injuries: since extreme heat and sparks are produced from welding, it can result in fires or even explosions.

Some injuries can be permanent, such as vision or hearing loss, lung damage, brain damage, Welders' Parkinson's disease, or death.

Welding Accident Prevention

Many welding injuries are preventable with the proper safety equipment, regular training and the reinforcement of OSHA's safety rules. It is the manager's responsibility to explain potential hazards and ensure safety regulations are met. That includes providing safety gear such as helmets or hand shields, eye protection, goggles, face shields, earplugs, and respirators to help avoid life-altering injuries.
