VB Attorneys has been hired by a welder who suffered serious burn injuries while working on a large industrial job site.
Our client was performing hot work when an explosion occurred, leaving him with severe burns to his torso and requiring extensive medical treatment.
The welder, who has built a career in heavy industrial construction, was working long hours at the time of the incident. Initial investigations show questions about how the site was managed, how hot work permits were issued, and whether gas lines were adequately cleared before work began.
Our investigation is ongoing and will focus on whether workplace safety rules were followed and whether this tragedy could have been prevented.
Proper safety and training are critical to keeping workers safe from workplace injuries.
