At Matthews & Associates, we represent victims of industrial, construction, and other workplace accidents in personal injury and wrongful death claims. To learn how we can help you recover the financial compensation necessary to support your physical recovery after a severe injury on the job, contact one of our attorneys in Houston for a free consultation.

We can analyze the circumstances of your accident to determine whether your claim is limited to workers' compensation benefits, or if instead you have the right to seek the broader range of damages available in a personal injury lawsuit. In many cases, a suit for personal injury damages can be prepared and litigated even while worker's comp benefits are being paid.

Our lawyers represent workers in construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, transportation, and other industries in workplace accident claims such as the following:

• Heavy equipment accidents involving cranes, forklifts, bulldozers, bucket trucks, or other fixed or mobile machinery
• Falls from heights such as roofs, ladders, or scaffolds
• Confined space accidents resulting in asphyxiation or drowning
• Electrocution, explosion, or fire
• Toxic exposure injuries due to chemical spills or releases
• Motor vehicle accidents in the course of employment

Many job injury claims involve severe and disabling injuries such as spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injury, or extensive burns. In the worst workplace accident cases, we take care that all elements of your present and future damages are thoroughly documented for compensation, including the expenses involved in future surgery, home care assistance, and rehabilitation therapy.

Our AV-rated* trial attorneys will work closely with you and your medical treatment team so that your interests are fully protected at every stage. For further information and a free consultation about your legal alternatives in any industrial or workplace accident case, contact a knowledgeable lawyer at Matthews & Associates in Houston.
