Mississauga Industrial Injury Attorneys
Injured on the Job? Talk to Our Mississauga Attorneys!
Industrial occupations carry a higher risk of catastrophic injury or death than other jobs.
Those who work in or around the following face potential dangers everyday:
- Lost wages
- Gas & Oil Refineries
- Mines
- Factories
- Warehouses
- Construction Sites
That, however, does not change the responsibility of industrial employers to provide the safest workplace possible. This includes providing proper workplace facilities, training, and equipment. Unfortunately, despite state and federal regulations, many industrial employers fall well short of fulfilling their duty. In many cases, the industrial laborers may experience severe or fatal illness as the result of exposure to toxic chemicals, gases, and hazardous materials such as asbestos.

INDUSTRIAL INJURY &
Accident Prevention
While our workplaces are less dangerous as a result of its success, unfortunately, industrial injuries caused by falls, plant explosions, exposure to toxic chemicals, electrocution, and other causes of workplace injuries are still common. Industrial workers are surrounded by workplace hazards that have potential to cause a serious industrial injury or death. Fortunately, most industrial injuries are preventable, and by increasing awareness of industrial injuries and the hazards that cause them, proper safety training can reduce the risk of serious industrial injury and death.
If you are aware of a hazardous or dangerous condition that threatens the health and safety of workers in a workplace, you should notify your employer immediately. If an injury occurs after an employer has already been advised of an unsafe condition but has not taken action to correct it, the employer may be liable for the injury and, if found liable, should be punished.
By seeking punitive damages on behalf of injured workers, industrial injury lawyers can hold them accountable and help to make the workplace safer for others.
PURSUING ALL AVENUES OF COMPENSATION FOR
Industrial Injury Victims
If the industrial employer participates in the Province’s compensation insurance system, an injured worker or family of a killed employee may seek medical, disability or death benefits through a workers’ comp claim. The employee or family does not need to show the employer was at fault to recover. However, these benefits are limited to certain time periods, and not all employers carry workers’ compensation insurance.
If an industrial worker suffers a mental or physical disability as a result of an industrial accident or injury, and the disability has lasted or is expected to last for more than a year, the worker may be eligible for OHIP benefits in addition to other relief.
If your industrial employer carries workers’ compensation insurance, then your sole remedy would be through a workers’ comp claim. However, a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit can be filed against employers who do not participate in workers’ compensation system or when the accident is the result of especially reckless conduct or the negligence of a co-worker or third party. In many cases, a personal injury or wrongful death claim may provide greater compensation than would otherwise be available.
