New York Welding Accident Lawyer

Injuries from Welding Accidents

Welding accidents can easily cause severe injury and even death. UV and IR radiation can result in lifelong health problems. Burned skin, lungs or other internal organs and conditions such as arc eye and retinal tears or burns can all occur due to welding accidents. Despite the fact that this is a heavily regulated area, accidents do unfortunately still occur. If you or a loved one has been the victim of such a traumatic event, contact a New York construction accident attorney for help in your fight for fair compensation.

Welding accidents may be caused by negligence of the welder or due to malfunctioning equipment such as torches, tanks, masks and more. Physical interference by people or objects in the area can cause a welder or the equipment and materials involved to slip out of place and cause an accident. The correct approach to your case will depend on whether you were injured due to the actions of the welder or others in the vicinity, a mismanaged site, or defective equipment.
