Representing Worker Injured by Falling Metal During Maintenance

Attorneys Trent Shelton and Wes Hook filed suit in Texarkana, Texas, on behalf of a worker who was injured during a maintenance operation when another employer failed to follow safe procedures.

Our client was performing maintenance on equipment when a separate employee, who was not paying attention, dropped a 50-pound piece of metal directly onto his head. The impact caused severe lacerations and a concussion, injuries that could have long-term consequences for his health and ability to work.

This incident would not have occurred if the employer had proper policies in place to prevent simultaneous operations during maintenance tasks. Allowing these activities to overlap creates dangerous conditions that put workers at risk for devastating injuries. Safety rules exist for a reason, and when companies ignore them, people get hurt.

Arnold & Itkin’s work injury attorneys are proud to represent this injured worker and will work tirelessly to hold the employer accountable for its failure to protect him.
