California Welding Accident Attorneys

Welding, cutting, and brazing are some of the most crucial yet dangerous jobs on a construction site. Nearly half a million ironworkers work on construction sites in the United States. With so many ironworkers doing such a dangerous job, accidents and injuries are going to happen.

If you or a family member is an ironworker who has suffered an injury you may be entitled to monetary compensation that is not covered by workerʼs compensation benefits. Such compensation could help pay for medical bills, lost wages, and your pain and suffering.

J. Dean Rice and Grant B. Luna are California ironworker and welding injury lawyers with more than 62 years of combined experience, specializing in ironworker and welding accident cases. Ironworker accidents often occur while erecting and installing steel beams and framework for commercial and residential buildings. Ironworkers are often working very high off the ground and must do a great deal of climbing and balancing while working.

Because of such dangerous working conditions, some of the most common types of ironworker accidents include:

• Slip and fall injuries leading to serious injury and death
• Being struck by rebar or falling construction equipment
• Power tool malfunction leading to severe laceration, amputation, or fractures

In addition to these accidents, ironworkers may also experience accidents related to welding. Such accidents, while rarely fatal can lead to permanent disfigurement, lose of mobility, hearing, and eyesight. Welding injuries can be caused by:

• Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation
• Exposure to extremely intense visible light
• Sparks leading to skin injury
• Deafening noise
• Ingestion of metal fumes leading to damage of the respiratory system
