Chicago Industrial Injury Attorneys
Our Reputation Spans from Illinois to Texas & Beyond
Industrial workers carry out daily work tasks in some of the most demanding and inherently dangerous workplaces for workers in all types of careers. Yet many industrial workers do not receive the respect and support they deserve after they get into a work-related accident. Some aren’t even able to file for workers’ compensation benefits because their employment status didn’t make them eligible to receive workers’ comp coverage.
If you were injured in an industrial accident and don’t know where to begin to seek compensation and care, start here at Hilliard Law. Our Chicago industrial injury lawyers, backed by the reputation and experience that our firm has earned since its founding nearly 40 years ago, are capable of bringing an injury claim against any sized defendant like corporations, construction firms, and insurance companies. To explore your options with a third-party injury claim brought to civil court after an industrial accident, reach out to us as soon as possible.

We Handle All Types of Industrial Accident Claims
Our legal team has the resources and experience needed to handle all sorts of industrial accident claims, such as:
- Chemical exposure: If you work around unsafe chemicals, you might be exposed to them on a daily basis, even while following all precautions. If your health starts to suffer after repeated exposure to toxic substances, or after a single incident like a leak or spill, you should explore what legal options might be available to you.
- Electrical accidents: One of OSHA’s Fatal Four (the four most common causes of fatalities in construction and industrial settings) is electrocution. If you were injured by electrical exposure at work, call us to see if you have the grounds to file an industrial accident claim.
- Fires and explosions: Fires and explosions in an industrial setting are extremely dangerous and they should always be preventable with proper employer and company precautions.
- Forklift accidents: Misuse of a forklift or poor forklift maintenance can lead to a devastating forklift accident. Survivors of forklift accidents often suffer life-changing injuries like amputations and severely broken bones.
- Hearing loss: Many industrial workers suffer from noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) due to working around loud equipment for dozens of hours each week. Depending on the circumstances of your hearing loss, you might be able to file a claim if yours is work-related.
- Heavy machinery accidents: Hilliard Law has extensive experience working on industrial injury cases involving heavy machinery. Even if you think you made a mistake while working with industrial machinery or equipment, Illinois liability law might still allow you to file an injury claim, so it’s always worth talking to our attorneys about your options.
- Structural collapses: When a scaffolding or trench collapses on an industrial worksite, one of the first questions to ask must be, “How could this have been prevented?” Our attorneys will ask this question and more if we work on your industrial accident claim involving a structural collapse.
- Transportation accidents: On the average industrial worksite, all sorts of vehicles are used to transport cargo, equipment, and tools. Whether you were struck by an industrial vehicle or were in one when it crashed, we can help you.
Who Could Be Liable for Your Losses?
Many different parties and entities share space within a typical industrial jobsite, warehouse, or manufacturing plant. For this reason, when an industrial accident strikes, it can be extremely complicated to determine who is liable for it. Rather than trying to sort through a large amount of details and data on your own, leave everything up to our Chicago industrial accident attorneys.
Using our insight and experience, we can see if one or more of these parties are liable for your injuries and losses:
- Your employer who failed to create a safe working environment that met all industry regulations
- Third-party company like a contractor, subcontractor, or equipment manufacturer
- Government agency that failed to inspect or regulate your jobsite
- Co-worker (in rare cases) who was working entirely independently and caused your injury
