Industrial Accident Lawyer in Bossier City
Over 30 Years Fighting for Injured Workers. Never for the Other Side.
When a serious injury happens at an industrial facility, the employer’s insurer gets to work immediately. At Joseph A. Gregorio, A Professional Law Firm, we represent the injured worker, not the other side. Located in Bossier City and serving clients throughout Northwest Louisiana, we’ve spent over 30 years litigating personal injury cases for people who have suffered real, life-altering harm at the hands of negligent employers, contractors, and facility operators.
We handle industrial accident cases on a contingency fee basis. You owe us nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Free consultations are available by phone, at our office, or at your home or hospital room if that’s what your situation requires.
If you or someone you love was injured at an industrial worksite in the Bossier City area, contact us today for a free case evaluation. Evening and weekend appointments are available. Call (318) 719-7515 to speak with our team.
Industrial Accident Cases We Handle
We represent workers injured across a range of industrial settings distinct from traditional construction sites or dedicated oil and gas operations: manufacturing facilities, chemical and processing plants, warehouses, distribution centers, and heavy industrial worksites throughout the Bossier City region.
Accident causes in these environments vary widely. We handle cases involving:
- Machinery and equipment failures that crush, cut, or trap workers
- Chemical and toxic substance exposure at processing and industrial plants
- Explosions and fires caused by hazardous materials or equipment failures
- Falls from elevated platforms, mezzanines, or industrial structures
- Electrocution from unguarded electrical systems
- Struck-by and caught-in incidents involving forklifts, conveyors, and heavy equipment
These incidents frequently produce catastrophic outcomes: severe burns, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, internal injuries, and permanent hearing or vision loss. The Shreveport-Bossier City regional economy draws on oil and gas services, petrochemical operations, heavy manufacturing, and large-scale logistics, all sectors where a single safety failure can produce permanent consequences.

Local Courts & Multi-Party Liability in Bossier Parish
Industrial accident claims arising from incidents in Bossier Parish are filed in the 26th Judicial District Court. Knowing how that court operates, its judges, and its procedural norms matters when your case reaches litigation. We bring that local familiarity.
Industrial accidents rarely involve only one responsible party. Beyond the direct employer, liability may extend to contractors and subcontractors working on the same site, equipment manufacturers who supplied defective machinery, and facility owners who failed to maintain safe conditions. Identifying every responsible party requires thorough investigation from the start. OSHA violation records, maintenance logs, and equipment inspection histories can all factor into building a complete liability picture.
Louisiana Law & Your Right to Pursue an Industrial Accident Claim
Most Louisiana workers injured on the job may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, which cover medical treatment and a portion of lost wages. Workers’ compensation doesn’t allow recovery for pain and suffering, and benefit caps are fixed regardless of how severe the injury is.
When a third party contributed to the injury, a separate personal injury claim may be available in addition to workers’ compensation. Under La. R.S. 23:1101, if a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or another employer on the site caused or contributed to the harm, recovery may include damages that workers’ compensation can’t provide: pain and suffering, full lost earnings, and compensation for long-term disability. This is general legal information, not legal advice for your specific situation.
Filing Deadlines for Industrial Accident Claims in Louisiana
The deadline depends on when the injury occurred. For injuries on or after July 1, 2024, Louisiana’s prescriptive period is two years under La. C.C. Art. 3493.1. For injuries before that date, the prior one-year deadline under La. C.C. Art. 3492 applies. Missing the deadline can permanently forfeit the right to pursue compensation, no matter how strong the evidence is. Employers and insurers typically begin protecting their interests immediately after an accident. Speaking with an attorney before giving a recorded statement or accepting any settlement offer can help protect your claim.
