Workplace Injury

Every year, thousands of workers are injured or killed in workplace accidents. Employers are legally required to maintain a reasonably safe environment, warn of potential hazards, and ensure proper safety measures are in place. Despite these obligations, workplace injuries still occur due to inadequate safety precautions.

When a workplace accident happens, multiple parties such as employers, contractors, insurance companies, and equipment manufacturers can be held responsible for negligence.

Workers’ Compensation and Beyond

While Workers' Compensation offers benefits for on-the-job injuries, it often falls short, particularly for severe or catastrophic injuries. In many cases, Workers' Compensation may not fully cover the extent of medical costs or lost wages, leaving workers without adequate recourse. Even when employers are at fault, fear of retaliation or job loss often prevents workers from seeking legal help.

At Brent Coon & Associates, we are dedicated to standing up for workers’ rights, challenging corporations when they fail to provide proper care or compensation. A notable case in our history is the 2005 BP refinery explosion in Texas City, where we represented hundreds of injured workers and the family of a woman who lost both parents in the tragedy. After taking the case to the Texas Supreme Court, we secured a settlement and helped enforce safer practices in the petrochemical industry.
