Understanding Workplace Injuries
Know When It’s Time to Call a Workplace Injury Lawyer
Legal guidance can make all the difference in your recovery.
Many people think workers’ compensation is the only path after a workplace injury, but in some cases, you may have additional legal options. If someone other than your employer contributed to your injury, such as a contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer, you may be able to pursue a separate work injury claim while still receiving workers’ compensation benefits.
At Chaffin Luhana, our experienced workplace injury lawyers help injured workers understand their rights and take back control after serious accidents. We guide you through every step, protect your benefits, and explore every opportunity to help you recover the compensation and peace of mind you deserve.

Common Industries Where Workplace Injuries Happen
If your job puts you at risk, Chaffin Luhana is here to protect you.
Oil and Gas
If you were injured while working at an oil or gas site, you’re not alone. These environments are filled with heavy machinery, combustible materials, and multiple contractors, which means accidents can quickly turn serious. Falls, fires, and explosions often cause life-changing injuries, and several companies may share responsibility for what happened. An experienced oil and gas injury lawyer can help you understand your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Construction
The construction industry is one of the most hazardous of all. Workers are in constant danger of the “fatal four” accident types: electrocutions, falls, struck-by incidents, and caught-between incidents. When these accidents happen, they can cause devastating injuries that leave workers facing medical bills, time away from work, and long recoveries.
Coal Mining
Coal miners work in some of the most dangerous conditions in the country. Working underground with heavy machinery and explosives is heavily regulated for safety, but when companies fail to follow those regulations, the results can be devastating. Roof collapses, equipment failures, and explosions can cause life-altering injuries or fatalities, leaving workers and families to face enormous challenges.
Factory
Working in a factory is often more dangerous than it should be. Unguarded machinery can lead to major injuries, as can slips, falls, and electrical hazards.

Work Injury FAQs
1. What Is the Difference Between a Workers' Compensation and a Workers' Injury Claim?
If you’re injured while performing your job duties, you’re entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Workers’ comp is a no-fault system that provides coverage for medical care and lost wages related to workplace injuries.
If your injury was caused by someone other than your employer, such as a contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer, you may also be able to pursue a third-party negligence claim for additional compensation. In some states, it may be possible to bring a third-party claim against your employer, but only when strict legal requirements are met.
2. How Long Do I Have to Sue for Work-Related Injuries?
That depends on your state’s laws. Most states have a statute of limitations of one to three years from the date of injury, giving you that much time to file a lawsuit. Your workplace injury lawyer can explain your state’s laws and help you understand your options.
3. How Do Personal Injury Claims Work?
Attorneys investigate how the injury happened and build a case against the at-fault party. Most cases can be settled outside of court, which means that the injured person and the at-fault party’s insurance company agree on a reasonable payment. However, in rare instances, personal injury cases must be decided in court.
4. When Should I Hire an Attorney for a Work-Related Injury?
You should consider hiring an attorney as soon as possible after a work-related injury, especially if your injuries are serious or your claim is being delayed or denied. A lawyer can help ensure you receive the full benefits and compensation you’re entitled to, whether through workers’ compensation or a third-party injury claim. You should also contact an attorney immediately if your employer retaliates against you for reporting the injury or filing a claim.
