Brazoria County Industrial Accident Attorney
Angleton’s Trusted Advocate for Industrial Injuries Since 2007
A refinery, chemical plant, or manufacturing facility runs on heavy machinery, high-pressure systems, and hazardous materials, and when safety procedures break down, the result is often a serious or life-altering injury. Brazoria County is home to large industrial complexes on the Gulf Coast, and Law Office of Jarrod D. Smith has been here to represent workers and contractors who have been hurt in such facilities since 2007.
Whether the incident involved a chemical release, an equipment malfunction, a fall from an elevated platform, or an explosion or fire, these cases are rarely simple. A single industrial site often involves the property owner, a staffing agency, multiple subcontractors, and outside equipment manufacturers, all of whom may share responsibility, and all of whom typically have their own insurance carriers and legal teams that are working to limit their exposure. Our industrial accident lawyer investigates every layer of that structure to identify who is actually responsible for what happened.

Know What Your Industrial Accident Claim Is Worth
Industrial injuries tend to be severe by nature.
When it comes to industrial accidents, we often come across injuries such as:
- Burns
- Amputations
- Respiratory damage from chemical exposure
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Other life-changing, catastrophic injuries
- Wrongful death
When highly toxic and flammable materials are on a job site, and when heavy machinery is involved, the injuries that result from accidents can require medical care that extends for years. Our industrial accident lawyer can work with medical experts to fully document not just the injury itself but also its long-term impact on your ability to work and live the way you did before.
A fair settlement for an industrial accident must include compensation for your future medical bills as well as your current expenses, your future earning capacity and not just your current missed paychecks. It should also account for non-quantifiable damages, such as the physical and emotional pain and suffering that you’ve been forced to endure. With a qualified work injury lawyer on your side, you can be confident that you have a legal advocate who will fight for the results you need, and not settle for anything less.
Who May Be at Fault for an Industrial Accident
Depending on how the accident happened, responsibility can fall on more than one party:
- The facility owner or operator, for unsafe conditions or inadequate safety protocols
- A contractor or subcontractor, for negligent work practices on site
- A staffing or labor agency, if inadequate training contributed to the injury
- An equipment or heavy machinery manufacturer, if a defective product caused the incident
- A maintenance provider, if poor upkeep led to a mechanical failure
If your employer carries workers’ compensation coverage, that may limit your ability to sue your employer directly, but it typically doesn’t prevent you from filing a claim against a third party whose negligence contributed to the accident. Sorting out which parties can be pursued, and how, is exactly the kind of analysis our attorney handles for every client, and it’s often the difference between a claim that covers only a fraction of your losses and one that reflects what happened on site.
