Construction Site Injuries
Construction sites harbor risks. Those in the Northwest Indiana construction industry often work in perilous conditions. Annually, construction accidents result in hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries. Statistically, Indiana's rate of injury for construction site related accidents is above the national average. Some of the most common construction related injuries include broken bones, burns, and lacerations. These types of injuries can be caused by:
Faulty equipment
Improper safety inspections
Safety violations
Electrocution
Falling objects
It is an unfortunate fact that many injuries in a construction area are entirely preventable. If you have been injured through negligence of another person or entity in the construction industry, Schafer and Schafer LLP can help you recover funds for medical expenses, lost wages, and more. There are strict time limits involving this type of case, so contact our law firm today.
Industrial Injuries
Not only are people who work at industrial plants in danger because of problems or carelessness with products at the job, but people who live near industrial plants can also be injured by chemical explosions, toxic spills, fire, among other things that can go wrong in that type of scenario. If you or someone you love has been injured or killed in an industrial accident, contact the attorneys at Schafer and Schafer LLP today so we can get started working on your case.

You are entitled to collect monies for your injuries, medical bills, as well as lost wages and possible lost future wages.
