Houston Attorney for Industrial Accident Victims
A lot of hazardous, physically risky work is performed in South Texas every day, and too often, the people doing that work are inadequately trained, poorly equipped, or subjected to unacceptably dangerous conditions. From the oil and gas fields to Gulf Coast docks and construction sites across the greater Houston area, industrial accidents that cost workers' their health and lives are a frequent occurrence.
If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one in a tragic on-the-job accident, you are probably facing serious financial pressures along with a desire for answers and justice. To discuss legal options you may have with a focused attorney, contact our firm today.
A Track Record of Success in Jobsite Injury and Fatality Cases
Our founding attorney Michael Phifer has successfully handled many personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits arising from industrial accidents caused by:
- Defective or poorly maintained heavy equipment and machinery
- Unsafe handling of hazardous gases and chemicals
- Inadequate employee training, failure to provide essential safety equipment, or failure to correct unsafe working conditions
In one industrial accident case, Mr. Phifer represented the surviving wife and children of a man who was electrocuted when he touched an improperly grounded piece of machinery. Gathering depositions from employees who testified on a company practice of allowing inadequately trained workers to repair electrical equipment, Mr. Phifer obtained a substantial settlement that helped provide for the family's needs.
Providing Solid Information and Determined Action
Laws providing a form of immunity from lawsuits to many employers make sound evaluation of an industrial accident case a complex challenge. In some situations, someone other than the employer — such as a product manufacturer, consultant or subcontractor — may be held liable.

We will welcome your call or e-mail, hear you out, and offer conscientious guidance about next steps.
