— Pennsylvania And New Jersey Industrial Accident Attorneys In The Greater Philadelphia Area
Philadelphia Industrial Accident Lawyers
Our region was built by people who work in its factories, refineries, plants, and ports — and that heavy industry carries heavy risk. When an industrial accident causes a catastrophic injury, Fritz & Bianculli investigates every failure and holds the right parties accountable, well beyond a routine workers’ comp claim.
Industrial Accidents We Handle
We represent workers hurt by machinery and equipment failures, explosions and fires, toxic and chemical exposure, and falls, crushing, and confined-space incidents. These accidents happen in refineries, chemical plants, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and port and terminal operations, and they frequently cause burns, amputations, and other life-altering injuries.
Liability Beyond Workers’ Comp in Industrial Settings
Workers’ comp covers your employer, but industrial accidents often involve others whose negligence can be pursued directly — the maker of a defective machine, a maintenance contractor, or the owner of the site. Those third-party claims recover damages comp does not, and identifying them takes a thorough, expert-driven investigation of exactly what failed.
Act Quickly to Preserve Evidence
After an industrial accident, get medical care, report the injury, and preserve everything you can — the equipment, photographs, and witness names. Critical evidence at industrial sites can be repaired or cleared away fast, so contacting an attorney before speaking with insurers can make a real difference.

From our offices in South Philadelphia, Northeast Philadelphia, and Sewell, New Jersey, we represent injured people throughout the Philadelphia region and across New Jersey — with a special focus on South Jersey, from the Delaware River communities all the way to the Jersey Shore.

RECOGNITION
Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered an industrial accident?
An industrial accident is a serious injury occurring in a heavy-industry setting — factories, refineries, chemical plants, warehouses, or ports. Common causes include machinery failures, explosions, chemical exposure, and falls, often producing catastrophic injuries.
Can I sue someone other than my employer for an industrial injury?
Frequently, yes. While workers’ comp covers your employer, third parties — equipment manufacturers, maintenance contractors, or site owners — can be sued directly. These third-party claims recover damages workers’ comp does not, and finding them is a strength of our firm.
What should I do after an industrial accident?
Get medical care immediately, report the injury to your employer, and preserve everything — the equipment involved, photos, and witness names. Contact an attorney before giving statements to insurers, because critical evidence at industrial sites can be repaired or discarded quickly.
How much is my industrial accident case worth?
Value depends on injury severity, medical and future-care costs, lost earnings, and how many liable parties can be identified. Because industrial injuries are often catastrophic, full recovery usually requires pursuing third-party claims in addition to comp.
