Common Workplace Accidents in Louisiana
The law holds employers responsible for providing a safe workplace. It’s their obligation to mitigate hazards, warn workers about unresolved hazards, and train everyone in safety protocols related to potential incidents. Virtually every work accident in history has been the result of businesses failing to follow through on their legal obligation to workers. Given that Louisiana workers deal with some of the worst industrial hazards in the world—plant explosions, dock and port accidents, maritime injuries—our Baton Rouge work injury attorneys have a great deal of experience with all types of on-the-job accidents.

Workers’ Compensation Claims in Baton Rouge
Most Louisiana workers are covered by workers’ comp, with notable exceptions like maritime workers, longshoremen, and railroad workers. But otherwise, all workers are covered under workers’ comp, even if you’re part-time, seasonal, or contracting. Workers’ comp gives injured claimants a faster and more straightforward path to recovery, but it provides much less than any serious injury costs. Workers who’ve experienced minor injuries might be able to get by with a few weeks of two-thirds of their pay, but a lot of clients come to us because that isn’t enough.
If you’re not sure if workers’ compensation is the right option for your situation, call our Baton Rouge work accident attorneys. We offer free consultations to help plaintiffs determine the best path to recovery. Let’s discuss your legal options and chart a way forward.
