Workplace & Industrial Accidents

Workplace Accident Lawyers Protecting Injured Workers

From refineries and warehouses to construction zones and manufacturing facilities, Houston’s workforce keeps this region running. But dangerous conditions — such as heavy machinery, elevated work areas, toxic substances, and electrical hazards — make many job sites risky and capable of causing serious injuries or even death when safety rules are ignored.

At Schilter Law Firm, we represent workers who have been harmed on the job when employers, contractors, or other parties fail to maintain safe working conditions. We understand the laws that protect employees, the tactics companies and insurers use to evade responsibility, and how to build strong claims that hold all liable parties fully accountable.

Workplace & Industrial Accident FAQ

Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury?

In some cases, yes — particularly if your employer is a non-subscriber to workers’ compensation or engaged in gross negligence.

What if someone other than my employer caused my injury?

If a contractor, equipment maker, or third party is at fault, we can pursue a personal injury lawsuit against them.

Do I still have a case if I already accepted workers’ compensation?

You may still have additional claims against third parties responsible for your injury.

How soon should I call a lawyer?

Immediately — delays can allow companies to hide or destroy critical evidence.

How much does it cost to hire Schilter Law Firm?

Nothing upfront — you only pay attorney fees if we win your case.
