La Porte's Most Dangerous Occupations

Work injury claims in Texas can happen at any workplace, but that does not mean that certain jobs aren’t more dangerous than others. La Porte is home to many dangerous occupations, some of which you may not even consider when thinking about it.

Regardless of the circumstances of a work injury, any injured employee is entitled to legal advice from expert attorneys, such as the La Porte attorneys for work accidents at Carabin Shaw. We have gathered a list of some of the most dangerous occupations in La Porte, but this list is not exhaustive of the types of employees that deserve access to expert legal guidance.

La Porte is home to over 36,000 citizens, a notable increase of almost 3,000 people since 2020 according to the United State Census Bureau. As such, many of the most hazardous jobs in La Porte are at companies with well over 1,000 employees.

La Porte has seen considerable growth in only two years, necessitating the city’s expansion in both homes and workplaces. The National Safety Council has identified construction work as one of the most dangerous fields to work in, and as the professional field with the most work-related deaths. This is no different in La Porte, which is home to no less than 5 individual construction companies according to the city’s chamber of commerce.

Working with La Porte workplace injury lawyers simplifies a claims process that is often incredibly complex, even when workers’ compensation is meant to be intuitive. This is especially true for construction injuries, where the victim is often entitled to file a third-party claim in addition to workers’ compensation.

If you are unsure about what options are available to you after an injury, our attorneys at Carabin Shaw offer free initial consultation to all work injury victims.

While it may be odd to see education follow construction, workers in the educational field experience the most non-lethal injuries that require time away from work. Meanwhile, four of La Porte’s independent school districts are listed among the city’s biggest employers according to the City of La Porte.

These occupations may seem free of potential injury. However, if you have suffered any injuries that are a direct result of your work, Texas attorneys for workplace injuries will fight for the compensation you need to heal.

Similar to educational services, health services commonly see injuries that require time away from work. This can include repetitive motion injuries, slip and falls, back injuries.

While these are among the most common fields where workers experience injuries, this list is certainly not exhaustive. Speaking with an expert lawyer is your best option after you have suffered a work injury.

Any work injury victim has the right to file for workers’ compensation to seek compensation. However, doing so without our team of experts at your side can result in a much smaller compensation. This is most true in cases where you disagree with the result of your workers’ compensation claim and must file an appeal.

Many injury victims decide not to work with attorneys due to costs. At Carabin Shaw, we offer our services on a contingency-fee basis so that you pay nothing for our guidance until we win our case. In order to see examples of the quality work we do, you can visit the Carabin Shaw reviews.
