Although welding can be dangerous, most accidents are avoidable by taking careful safety measures and extra precautions.
Recognizing the danger of welding work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides specific standards for welding, including wearing goggles, gloves, and masks while on the job.
Unfortunately, some employers and on-site supervisors don’t take the time to ensure regulations are met. As a result, welding accidents still occur, especially when the work is part of larger construction work. In construction — a field already ripe for accidents — welding adds another layer of risk. In 2019, 50 workers were killed in welding accidents in the United States.
No two construction sites are alike, so the reasons for every welding accident are different. However, certain causes tend to show up more often than others.
These causes include:

The two main options for financial recovery are a workers’ compensation claim or a third-party lawsuit.
New York employers must carry a type of personal injury insurance called “workers’ compensation” to cover the financial needs of workers injured on the worksite or doing their job.
Workers’ compensation only offers economic benefits, which are benefits related to quantifiable financial losses such as:
Workers’ compensation does not cover non-economic losses that are less objective and difficult to calculate, such as emotional distress or pain and suffering.
It also does not cover injuries that are:
Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, which means you are entitled to the funds even if you may have played a part in causing your injury.
If an entity other than your employer caused your harm, you could potentially pursue a personal injury lawsuit against that third party.
Third parties could include:
Third-party lawsuits offer you an opportunity to receive greater coverage for your losses than workers’ compensation alone. Our welding accident attorneys will investigate to determine whether any third parties might be liable.
