Report the accident to your supervisor immediately in writing, seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor, document everything with photographs of the scene and your injuries, identify witnesses, and contact an experienced manufacturing accident attorney before giving recorded statements to insurance companies or signing any documents.

If your employer carries workers’ compensation insurance, you generally cannot sue them directly for workplace injuries but can receive workers’ comp benefits.

However, you can sue non-subscriber employers who opted out of workers’ comp, and you can always pursue third-party claims against equipment manufacturers, maintenance companies, and other negligent parties.

OSHA violations provide powerful evidence of employer or third-party negligence.

Documented violations of machine guarding requirements, lockout/tagout procedures, or hazard communication standards establish that responsible parties knew or should have known about safety hazards and failed to correct them.

Workers’ compensation provides medical benefits and income replacement typically at 70% of wages up to state maximums.

Third-party claims allow recovery of full lost wages, complete medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, and potentially punitive damages—compensation categories that workers’ comp doesn’t cover at all.

Texas law provides a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims against third parties.

Workers’ compensation claims must be filed within one year of the injury date. However, waiting weakens your case—evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and employers may destroy records if not notified of potential claims immediately.

When defective machinery, missing safety guards, or malfunctioning equipment causes injuries, manufacturers and equipment suppliers face product liability claims.

Unlike negligence claims, strict liability means you don’t need to prove the manufacturer was careless—only that the product was defective and caused your injuries.

Manufacturing injury cases typically take 18 months to three years to resolve, depending on injury severity, case complexity, the number of defendants, and whether trial becomes necessary. Simple cases with clear liability may settle within a year, while complex cases involving multiple defendants and disputed causation often take longer.

These injuries may seem gradual, but the consequences can be serious. We represent workers suffering from:
• Back strain and herniated discs
• Shoulder injuries like rotator cuff tears
• Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs)
• Joint pain and mobility limitations
• Nerve compression syndromes (e.g., carpal tunnel)
• Chronic fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders
• Long-term physical impairment

We understand that pain is personal—and we’ll fight for the compensation you need to move forward.

These steps can protect your health and your legal rights after a work-related overuse injury:

1. Report the injury – Notify your supervisor and document your symptoms.

2. Seek medical treatment – Get evaluated by a professional, especially if the pain worsens over time.

3. Keep records – Track your work duties, hours, and how pain affects your daily life.

4. Avoid aggravating the injury – Don’t push through the pain or return to work too soon.

5. Contact Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys – We’ll handle the legal side while you focus on your recovery.

Manufacturing jobs often require physical tasks that take a long-term toll on the body. Common causes of these injuries include:
• Heavy, awkward, or frequent lifting
• Poor ergonomics or improper workstation design
• Repeated bending, twisting, or reaching motions
• High-paced environments with minimal breaks
• Lack of safety gear or lifting aids
• Inadequate training on lifting techniques

If your injury resulted from unsafe conditions or employer negligence, you may be entitled to legal compensation.

If faulty machinery, shelving, or load-handling equipment was involved, you may have a valid product liability case. We’ll investigate and pursue action against manufacturers or suppliers who failed to ensure safety.

Most of the time, Texas law limits lawsuits against employers with workers’ comp. However, exceptions exist—and third-party claims may still be available. We’ll explore every legal path to get you what you’re owed.

Texas allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Workers’ compensation claims may follow separate timelines. Don’t wait—speak to our team right away to protect your rights.

Yes. While workers’ comp covers certain benefits, you might also be eligible for a third-party claim if a contractor, supplier, or equipment provider contributed to the accident. Our attorneys will explore every possible legal option.

Start by calling 911 if you’re seriously injured. Then report the incident, gather evidence, take photos, get medical attention, and call Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys to understand your legal rights.

Austin’s booming manufacturing sector brings high demand—and high risk. Facilities with heavy machinery, multi-level storage, and fast-paced operations often see falling object incidents caused by:
• Improperly secured tools or equipment
• Overloaded or unstable shelving units
• Inadequate worker training or supervision
• Forklift errors and dropped loads
• Structural issues or poor maintenance
• Crane or rigging equipment failure

If your injury was caused by unsafe conditions or negligence, you may have the right to pursue legal compensation.

You may have a strong product liability claim. Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys will pursue damages from manufacturers of unsafe chemicals, defective safety gear, or faulty ventilation systems used in your workplace.

While workers’ compensation laws may limit direct lawsuits against your employer, you might be eligible to file a claim if there’s evidence of gross negligence or if a third-party contributed to the exposure. We’ll investigate every legal angle.

Texas typically allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. However, toxic exposure cases can be complex, especially with delayed symptoms. Contact us quickly to avoid missing critical deadlines.

Yes. While workers’ comp may offer limited benefits, it may not cover all damages. If a third-party like a contractor or chemical supplier is at fault, a personal injury lawsuit could result in greater compensation.

Your health and legal rights depend on swift action. Seek medical care, report the incident, preserve evidence, and contact Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys to begin your claim.

Toxic exposure can have both immediate and long-term effects. We represent clients suffering from:
• Chemical burns and skin lesions
• Respiratory damage and chronic coughing
• Neurological disorders and memory loss
• Cancer (including mesothelioma or leukemia)
• Reproductive harm or birth defects
• Organ failure (liver, kidney, lungs)
• Psychological effects like anxiety or PTSD

These injuries can develop over time, making early legal intervention critical.

If you believe you were exposed to a hazardous substance in a manufacturing facility, here’s what to do:

1. Seek medical attention immediately—even if symptoms are not obvious.

2. Notify your supervisor and document the incident.

3. Take photos of the scene and record equipment or chemical labels.

4. Collect statements or contact information from coworkers who witnessed the event.

5. Contact Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys to begin the legal process and protect your rights.

Austin’s manufacturing industry uses a wide range of chemicals and materials that, if mishandled, can pose significant health threats. Common causes of toxic exposure include:
• Inadequate safety protocols or training
• Improper storage or labeling of chemicals
• Poor ventilation and air quality systems
• Failure to use personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Equipment leaks and accidental spills
• Exposure to asbestos, silica, or heavy metals

If your exposure was caused by unsafe workplace conditions or employer negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

You may have a valid premises liability or negligence claim. We will investigate the maintenance and safety standards of the facility and hold responsible parties accountable for unsafe conditions.

Generally, workers’ comp laws prevent direct lawsuits against employers, but you may still be able to sue third parties—like equipment vendors or contractors. We’ll explore all possible paths to secure your recovery.

You have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim in Texas. Don’t wait—contact us immediately to ensure your rights are protected and deadlines are met.

Manufacturing plants are busy environments where safety oversights can lead to dangerous falls. Common causes of slip and fall accidents in industrial settings include:
• Wet or oily surfaces with no warning signage
• Spills from machinery or chemicals
• Cluttered work areas with tripping hazards
• Poor lighting in high-traffic areas
• Uneven floors, cracked surfaces, or broken stairs
• Lack of safety protocols and proper training
• Worn-out anti-slip mats or safety equipment

If you were injured in a fall at a manufacturing site, you may be entitled to compensation due to unsafe conditions or third-party negligence.

You may have a product liability case. We investigate equipment failures and hold manufacturers accountable for defective products or safety failures that led to your injury.

Typically, workers’ compensation bars direct lawsuits against employers—but exceptions exist. We’ll evaluate your case and explore every legal avenue.

Austin’s diverse industrial sector includes manufacturing sites with combustible materials, heavy machinery, and electrical systems—all potential hazards. Common causes include:

If your injuries resulted from one of these causes, you may be eligible for compensation.

You have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in Texas. If workers’ comp is involved, different deadlines may apply. Contact our firm immediately to preserve your rights.

Austin’s manufacturing industry relies on powerful and fast-moving machinery, which can turn dangerous when safety is compromised. Common causes of machinery-related accidents include:
• Untrained or unsupervised equipment operation
• Lack of machine guards or emergency stop systems
• Defective or malfunctioning parts
• Improper lockout/tagout during maintenance
• Overloaded conveyor systems or forklifts
• Inadequate supervision or safety compliance

If your injury was caused by poor safety practices or faulty machinery, you may be entitled to compensation under Texas law.

Report the accident to your supervisor immediately in writing, seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor, document everything with photographs of the scene and your injuries, identify witnesses, and contact an experienced manufacturing accident attorney before giving recorded statements to insurance companies or signing any documents.

If your employer carries workers’ compensation insurance, you generally cannot sue them directly for workplace injuries but can receive workers’ comp benefits.

However, you can sue non-subscriber employers who opted out of workers’ comp, and you can always pursue third-party claims against equipment manufacturers, maintenance companies, and other negligent parties.

OSHA violations provide powerful evidence of employer or third-party negligence.

Documented violations of machine guarding requirements, lockout/tagout procedures, or hazard communication standards establish that responsible parties knew or should have known about safety hazards and failed to correct them.

Workers’ compensation provides medical benefits and income replacement typically at 70% of wages up to state maximums.

Third-party claims allow recovery of full lost wages, complete medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, and potentially punitive damages—compensation categories that workers’ comp doesn’t cover at all.

Texas law provides a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims against third parties.

Workers’ compensation claims must be filed within one year of the injury date. However, waiting weakens your case—evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and employers may destroy records if not notified of potential claims immediately.

When defective machinery, missing safety guards, or malfunctioning equipment causes injuries, manufacturers and equipment suppliers face product liability claims.

Unlike negligence claims, strict liability means you don’t need to prove the manufacturer was careless—only that the product was defective and caused your injuries.

Manufacturing injury cases typically take 18 months to three years to resolve, depending on injury severity, case complexity, the number of defendants, and whether trial becomes necessary.

Simple cases with clear liability may settle within a year, while complex cases involving multiple defendants and disputed causation often take longer.

Yes—workers’ compensation and third-party claims are separate and can both be pursued.

You can receive workers’ comp benefits from your employer’s insurance while suing a negligent third party for additional damages. However, workers’ comp carriers have subrogation rights and may be entitled to reimbursement from third-party recoveries.

Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, so your benefits aren’t reduced by your own negligence.

For third-party claims, Texas follows modified comparative fault rules—you can recover if less than 51% at fault, but damages are reduced by your fault percentage. Employers and insurers often exaggerate worker fault to minimize claims.

Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys handles manufacturing accident cases on contingency, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you—our fee comes from the settlement or verdict.

We also advance all case expenses including expert witness fees, court costs, and investigation expenses, so you pay nothing out of pocket.

Austin’s robust industrial and tech sectors rely heavily on manufacturing plants and factories—where fast-paced environments and heavy machinery can pose serious risks. Common causes of manufacturing accidents include:
• Equipment malfunctions and mechanical failures
• Lack of safety training or supervision
• Slips, trips, and falls on factory floors
• Exposure to toxic chemicals or fumes
• Repetitive motion injuries and ergonomic hazards
• Crushing or caught-in machinery incidents
• Electrical accidents or fires
If you were injured due to unsafe conditions or someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
