Industrial Injury Lawyer
If you’re injured while doing the hard work that keeps the country running, you deserve all the available resources to recover in peace.
Industrial injuries in locations like warehouses, factories, and shipyards can cause life-altering, catastrophic injuries. You and your loved ones are entitled to financial compensation to pay for treatment and the interruption to the household income. Frequently, workers’ compensation and health insurance will not cover the full cost of your needs. That’s when an industrial injury lawyer can help.
The Lyon Firm is a personal injury law firm with experience in successfully representing workers and individuals against large corporations. Your priority after an industrial injury is healing—let us handle the paperwork to secure the monetary resources you’re entitled to receive.

How Much Is My Industrial Injury Claim Worth?
There is no set number for how much an industrial injury claim is worth. Each claim is evaluated on a case-by-case basis that takes into account coverage for:
- Medical bills, including all emergency and ongoing care, equipment, and medications
- Lost wages and future earnings, as well as job-related benefits like pensions and health insurance
- Pain and suffering for the physical pain and psychological anguish caused by what are frequently life-altering injuries
- Punitive damages, which are “punishment” fees a judge has the discretion to charge to any negligent party, funds that are then awarded to you on top of other compensation
- Wrongful death expenses for the surviving family members, meant to cover bills for funeral/burial costs, as well as the loss of income, companionship, and guidance of the deceased

Your injury compensation amount should reflect all that was lost—money, time, and quality of life.
How Much Is a Permanent Injury Worth?
Permanent injuries are often worth more in compensation depending on the nature and severity of the harm done.
For example, a permanent limb injury or traumatic amputation for a worker could mean they can no longer earn money at the highly-paid skill they’re trained for. A lawsuit can address the resulting lack of work income or lower-paying work. That same worker may also lose the ability to drive a standard vehicle, or play sports they once enjoyed—such losses can also be calculated in a court setting.
Similarly, a traumatic or penetrating brain injury could mean a severely decreased quality of life far outside the bounds of employment. A lawsuit in such a case would take into account not just lost wages and earnings, but the other losses associated with the injury (difficulty walking, speaking, or maintaining intimate relationships).
Permanent injuries often require more care and cause more anguish than temporary injuries. Your compensation amount should reflect a fair evaluation of all that was lost for your life going forward.
How Long Do I Have to Claim for an Industrial Injury?
The filing deadlines for workplace injury claims vary from state to state. Known as “statutes of limitations,” these laws place a strict window of time after the date of your injury during which you can sue.
The Lyon Firm is headquartered in Ohio, where the deadline for filing a claim after an industrial injury is one year. For an occupational disease (like asthma or mesothelioma from inhaling toxic materials, or carpal tunnel from repeated motions such as pulling a machine lever), the deadline is extended to two years. For those who are recovering from catastrophic injury, or for families grieving a fatal loss, this is a very short period of time to decide to file a lawsuit.
Do not wait. Whatever your circumstances, when you agree to representation from a qualified attorney, your lawyer takes on the responsibility of meeting filing deadlines. This removes the worry of legal timelines from your shoulders, so you can concentrate on healing in peace.

How Do I Sue a Company for Injury?
All you have to do to sue a company, corporation, or business owner is empower an industrial injury lawyer to act on your behalf. Your attorney does the work necessary to gather evidence, negotiate for a fair settlement, and take your case to trial if necessary.
The representatives of big companies may try to force a trial as an intimidation or delaying tactic, but your lawyer from The Lyon Firm is prepared to hold them accountable, no matter what.
Rest assured that while a pre-trial settlement is often quicker, the damages awards ordered by judges during trial are often larger sums. Judges have the discretion to maximize amounts and add punitive damages to your reward.
A dangerous job should mean more protection, not less—reach out to The Lyon Firm to assert your rights.
