The Law Offices of Hugh Howerton has successfully handled cases involving serious injuries occurring in chemical plants, refineries and construction sites. Each case is painstakingly screened to determine how the accident occurred and who was negligent for the accident. Possible responsible parties include the owner of the site, general contractor, and subcontractors. Many times we hire expert witnesses in the area of construction and safety to determine whether there were OSHA violations that led to the accident. These types of claims require specialized training and experience on the part of the attorney handling the case. Not every Personal Injury attorney has the necessary training and experience.

To make construction work safer, many states have strict safety laws that place the injured worker in a favorable position to sue and recover damage. These laws require contractors, owners, and their agents to furnish scaffold, hoists and other structures for erecting, demolishing or repairing buildings. If the owner or general contractor fails to provide safe working conditions under the law, he may be held responsible for the injury if his negligent right of control led to the injury.

Many times in chemical plant accidents workers are overcome with poisonous fumes. We work with recognized experts in the area of industrial safety and toxicology to determine how the accident occurred and how much exposure resulted from the accident. Our expertise in these areas has resulted in our clients receiving large settlements.

Our firm utilizes scientific and engineering experts to determine if manufacturers or construction equipment are responsible. Employers are responsible for the safe design and proper maintenance of equipment and products in the work place. Defective or dangerous products can include scaffolding, cranes, power tools derricks, hoists, conveyors, woodworking tools, ladders, winches, trucks, graters, scraper, tractors, bulldozers, forklifts, as well as many other types of construction equipment.
