Trusted Legal Support for Falling Object Injuries in Austin

The Role of Our Austin Falling Objects Manufacturing Accident Attorneys

A falling object accident can cause devastating injuries, leaving you with medical bills, pain, and lost wages. At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we understand how overwhelming this can be. That’s why our legal team is here to support you through every step of the legal process. As trusted personal injury attorneys in Austin, TX, we fight to protect your rights and secure the maximum compensation allowed under Texas law.

Our firm has handled numerous workplace injury claims in manufacturing environments, particularly those involving falling tools, materials, or machinery. Whether your accident happened in a facility in South Austin or a warehouse in the outskirts, we bring unmatched legal insight into the unique risks of manufacturing floors and liability in Travis County and beyond.

Why Choose Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys for Your Falling Objects Case?

At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we are fierce advocates for injured workers. Our legal team has experience with a wide range of falling object incidents in industrial settings, including:

  • Machinery Accidents – Overhead machinery in manufacturing settings—such as cranes, robotic arms, or conveyor lifts—can drop tools, components, or machine parts if not properly secured or maintained. These falling objects often result in crush injuries, fractures, or traumatic head injuries when safety mechanisms fail or operators are not adequately trained.
  • Explosions or Fires – Explosions or structural fires can destabilize overhead storage systems, catwalks, and suspended equipment. Falling debris or collapsing fixtures during or after such incidents can lead to secondary injuries like concussions, blunt force trauma, or fatal strikes from dislodged machinery and building materials.
  • Slip and Fall Accidents – Slip and fall incidents on manufacturing floors can cause workers to inadvertently knock items from elevated areas—such as tools from scaffolding or boxes from shelves. These falling objects may strike coworkers below, resulting in unexpected and severe injuries alongside the initial fall.
  • Toxic Exposure – Improperly stored chemical containers or hazardous material drums placed on elevated racks can fall and burst, releasing toxic substances. These incidents can cause dual harm: direct injury from the falling object and secondary exposure to harmful chemicals, fumes, or reactions upon impact.
  • Falling Objects – Manufacturing environments often include mezzanines, loading zones, and vertical storage areas—making falling object hazards an everyday concern. Items such as tools, components, or raw materials can fall from above due to improper stacking, unstable racking, or human error, causing injuries ranging from lacerations to permanent disability or death.
  • Lifting and Repetitive Motion Injuries – Repetitive lifting of heavy objects onto high shelves or storage racks increases the chance of dropped loads. When these items fall due to overexertion, poor technique, or fatigue, nearby workers can suffer from serious blunt force trauma or skeletal injuries, often without warning.

My attorney Travis, case manager Liz, and everyone else from Kelley Wolff were a pleasure to work with. Liz constantly kept me in the loop with updates and while my case became more complex due to filing a lawsuit, the process was still seemless. Travis was lightning quick to answer any questions. For example, when I had my settlement finalized, I had to notarize the forms and I was out of state at the time. I wanted to ensure the forms were correctly notarized and signed, so I called my case manager Liz and she contacted Travis. Within minutes, I had clarity on how the forms needed to be completed by the notary. 5/5 would definitely recommend, very professional and was more than happy with the amount of my settlement.

Answered every question I had. They always stayed in touch with me when they said they were going to. We did settle on a number more than what I anticipated.

My case took 2yrs to resolve, and there were times I thought it was not going to be resolved. Kelley Wolff Attorney Travis stayed true to his word. There were many times when I doubted the updated reports of my case but Travis made sure he reached out to go over the information given until I felt secure in next steps of my case. This group can be trusted to follow through and resolve your case no matter how long it may take.
