Types of Serious or Fatal Injuries Resulting from a Factory Accident

Des Moines has a fairly large factory-based manufacturing industry, which means a large population of factory workers are taking risks every day. No matter at which factory-based job you are employed, you may suffer some of these common factory accidents:

• falling materials or debris;
• slipping due to unsafe walkways, ladders and railings;
• chemical spills;
• injury from malfunctioning or improperly used equipment;
• crashes with forklifts and other vehicles;
• electrocution;
• exposure to toxic substances;
• burns or scalding; and
• catching clothing or appendages in machinery.

These injuries can often be prevented or reduced with proper safety protocol, but in many cases they are due to negligence that make them unavoidable even with proper safety gear.

Employers subject to the law are required to provide insurance through a private insurance company or qualify as a self-insurer.
