Elizabethtown Industrial Injury Lawyer
Any occupation has the potential to cause injury; however, workers on construction sites, in industrial settings and in warehouses are often at increased risk for injuries. In my practice, I see many workers from the nearby UPS, Ford, GE, LG&E and Insight plants as well as construction projects in the area.
If you have been injured at work, you are eligible for workers' compensation and possibly additional damages from a negligent third party. I can help you with your workers' comp claim as well as any third-party claims. I have helped hundreds of injured workers recover compensation for their injuries, including plumbers, electricians, roofers, drivers, laborers, manufacturers and others.

Dangers in the Workplace
Construction site accidents often involve falls from ladders and scaffolding, heavy equipment collapse, defective power tools, contact with power lines, work zone vehicle accidents and untrained employees. People who work in industrial jobs may be injured by exposure to toxins, performing repetitive motions and inadequate safety measures.
Workplace accidents can cause chronic, catastrophic or fatal injuries such as:
- Brain injuries
- Back, neck and shoulder injuries
- Spinal injuries
- Burns and electric shock
- Amputations
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
Defective products and equipment failures are additional causes of accidents. A third party, such as an equipment manufacturer, may be liable in these cases. We may be able to collect additional damages from the negligent party.
If you are the surviving spouse of a worker who was killed on the job, I may be able to help you obtain dependent benefits from workers' compensation. Please call 502-442-7306 to schedule an appointment with a Louisville construction injury attorney.
