On June 4, 2010, more than a dozen people were affected by an industrial accident in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Around 10 a.m. on Friday morning, a 55-gallon drum of chloromethyl naphtalene released corrosive vapors when it was punctured at the Old Dominion Freight Line facility near Harvard Avenue and Dawson Road. Fifteen people were affected by the vapors and nine of them were taken to area hospitals. Injuries such as these may deserve compensation and victims should contact an Oklahoma City workers' compensation lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your situation.

Workers in every industry face a risk of being injured while on the job. This has been happening since the dawn of our society, and over time state governments have come to create laws designed to protect injured workers so that they don't lose everything they've worked for because of one random accident. This system of laws is known as worker's compensation, and Oklahoma is not unlike every other jurisdiction in that it offers these workers an alternative for help when they need it. However, there is a process that must be followed in order for worker's compensation benefits to be successfully obtained, and this process can be challenging enough to require the help of an Oklahoma worker's compensation lawyer from time to time.

Third party workers' comp cases refer to a personal injury case against a person or company who is at fault when there is also a workers’ compensation claim filed against an employer. In other words, if you are injured on the job as a result of a third party’s carelessness or mistake, you may be able to receive compensation on a third party claim in addition to receiving workers’ compensation.

When someone is injured while at work, that person is usually entitled to worker's compensation benefits that provide basics in terms of medical care and at least partial payment of the worker's income until such time as he or she is able to return to normal duties. However, there is at least one other issue of liability that can arise if someone is injured at work, and that situation arises when a worker is injured by someone who is not employed or working at the same place and who was negligent. These situations are known as third party liability, and anyone who's suffered through this scenario needs the help of an Oklahoma worker's compensation lawyer.

Workplace injuries happen at an alarming pace, which is one of the many reasons that Oklahoma has an extensive body of laws that govern these situations. While these extensive rules and regulations are intended to minimize confusion, controversy and ambiguity regarding what should happen, when it should occur and who should pay for benefits, adversarial situations still arise. When a workers' compensation claim stalls or is denied wrongfully, the injured worker needs the help of an Oklahoma workers' compensation lawyer who can help revive the claim in question.
