What Our Clients Say
Common Industrial Plant Accidents in Ohio
Industrial sites are filled with hazards, many of which are preventable with the right safeguards. But too often, companies gamble with workers’ lives.
At Harris Law, we’ve had decades of experience representing injured workers in the Columbus area, Worthington, Marysville, and across Ohio. We’ve seen all kinds of accidents and injuries in industrial plants, and we understand the devastating effects these accidents can have on people’s lives.
We handle cases involving:
- Explosions from pressurized systems, boilers, or chemical reactions
- Chemical burns or inhalation due to leaks, spills, or poor containment
- Fires and burns caused by electrical faults or unsafe hot work practices
- Crush injuries from collapsing structures or falling machinery
- Equipment failure due to poor maintenance or faulty design
- Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or unguarded walkways
- Electrocution from exposed wiring or arc flashes
- Overexertion or heat stroke in poorly ventilated environments
- Forklift or vehicle-related accidents within the plant
- Toxic exposure with long-term health consequences
- Repetitive stress injuries from long-term overexertion
These kinds of accidents are often the result of someone putting profits ahead of safety. Employers can cut corners on training, safety inspections, equipment maintenance, or regulatory compliance.
When your employer’s negligence results in a catastrophic accident, you have rights.
What to Do After an Industrial Plant Accident in Ohio
Industrial accident claims aren’t like car crashes. They’re complex, high-stakes cases that often involve multiple parties and big corporations trying to control the narrative.
It’s important to follow these steps to protect yourself in the immediate aftermath of your accident:
1
Get immediate medical attention. Don’t downplay your injuries.
2
Document what happened. Take photos, save your clothing, and write down anything you remember.
3
Avoid making statements or signing anything. This especially applies when speaking to company reps or insurance adjusters. They’re not on your side.
4
Talk to a lawyer as soon as possible. Evidence gets cleaned up fast, and you need someone acting in your best interest.
At Harris Law, we know how to step in and take control before the company takes the story out of your hands.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of compensation can I recover in an industrial plant accident lawsuit?
You may be entitled to damages for medical expenses, lost wages, future medical care, pain and suffering, and long-term disability. Talk to a lawyer to find out more about the damages you can recover.
What if my company is already investigating the accident?
Their investigation is to protect their own liability, not your interests. You need your own advocate to conduct a separate investigation in order to determine the true cause of the accident and who is liable for your damages.
I was working as a contractor. Do I still have rights?
Yes, contractors can bring a personal injury claim for workplace injuries. Contractors can sometimes have even stronger legal options than full-time employees. We represent contractors regularly.
What if a family member died in a plant accident?
If you lost a family member or loved one to an industrial plant accident, you may have a wrongful death claim. We represent the families of workers killed in workplace accidents regularly. We’ll handle your case with compassion, care, and the determination to get justice.
Where do you take cases in Ohio?
Our law firm is based in Worthington, Ohio, but we represent injured workers from all across the state – especially in the Columbus area, such as Marysville, Delaware, Newark, and Coshocton.
