West Virginia Industrial Accidents Attorney

Industrial accidents usually occur because the employer has failed in its obligation to provide a safe environment in which to work. To do so is especially crucial in industrial fields, because of the many factors that threaten worker safety. When conditions are unsafe, workers in these types of industrial fields, such as plant workers, construction workers, natural gas or drilling workers, and other fields can suffer serious injury or death in moments.

We have handled industrial accidents involving many different activities, such as:

  • Faulty or inappropriate scaffolding
  • Inadequate personal protective equipment
  • Improper and/or inadequate equipment at natural gas wells and drilling sites
  • Failure to provide proper fall prevention devices
  • Falls at the job site
  • Fallen objects
  • Accidents involving cranes
  • Accidents involving loading, unloading, and improper securement of loads
  • Gas Exposure
  • Explosions
  • Defective Machinery

Your employer is responsible to provide a safe work environment, and has responsibility to prevent these types of incidents from occurring.  Every industry has the potential for serious injury accidents if the employer doesn’t meet its obligations.  Depending on the type of job, your employer may have specific requirements/obligations under O.S.H.A., regulations promulgated by other agencies, and requirements under State and Federal Law. It its up to the Employer to ensure that everyone who is working at the job site is properly trained and equipped with protective devices and proper equipment to do their job in a safe manner.


In the situation where there was a failure to comply, the details may differ, but the consequences are the same: injury, disability, or death for the worker and hardship for the worker’s family. If you or someone you know has been injured or killed in an industrial accident, contact the Berthold Law Firm today for a review of your personal injury or wrongful death case. Our attorneys can help you get the financial assistance you are legally entitled to while holding the negligent party responsible for their actions.
