Industrial sites—like factories, processing plants, warehouses, and refineries—present some of the most dangerous working conditions in Del Ray. When safety procedures break down or heavy machinery malfunctions, the result is often catastrophic. At Malloy Law Offices, our Del Ray industrial accident attorney helps injured workers and their families seek justice, financial relief, and accountability from all responsible parties.
Industrial accidents are different from routine workplace injuries. These environments involve powerful equipment, chemical hazards, extreme temperatures, and multiple contractors sharing the same space. A single oversight can trigger a chain reaction—resulting in injury not just to workers, but also to third parties like inspectors, contractors, or nearby residents.
If you’ve been hurt in an industrial accident, we’ll help determine whether your case qualifies for more than workers’ compensation—especially if a third party was negligent.
Our team has handled a wide range of industrial accident claims across Northern Virginia. Common causes include:
Equipment failure—Crane collapses, conveyor belt malfunctions, or press machine accidents
Chemical exposure—Toxic fumes, corrosive substances, or inadequate ventilation
Explosions or fires—Often due to faulty electrical work, gas leaks, or unregulated combustible materials
Forklift or heavy vehicle collisions—Often caused by poor training or lack of visibility
Falls from elevated platforms or catwalks—Due to missing railings or unsecured harnesses
Poor lockout/tagout procedures—Allowing machinery to start while being serviced
If any of these incidents resulted from a safety violation, defective product, or third-party negligence, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim.
The injuries sustained in industrial environments tend to be severe and often permanent. Malloy Law Offices represents clients dealing with:
Crush injuries and amputations from press machines or heavy equipment
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) from falls or falling objects
Spinal cord damage leading to chronic pain or paralysis
Burns from chemicals, explosions, or electrical faults
Lung damage from inhaling harmful fumes or particles
Multiple fractures, orthopedic trauma, and internal injuries
Psychological trauma, including PTSD after high-impact events
We coordinate with medical specialists, life care planners, and vocational experts to fully assess your long-term medical and financial needs.
Yes—in many industrial accident cases, third-party liability allows injured workers to pursue additional compensation beyond standard workers’ comp. This might include:
Equipment manufacturers (for defective machines)
Contractors or subcontractors (for unsafe operations or lack of oversight)
Maintenance providers (who failed to identify or fix hazards)
Property owners (if the premises were inherently dangerous)
Chemical suppliers (for improper labeling or delivery issues)
We investigate every layer of liability to help maximize your financial recovery.
Depending on your injury and the liable parties involved, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Medical bills – Including surgeries, hospital stays, and long-term treatment
Lost wages – Past income as well as future loss of earning ability
Pain and suffering – For the physical and emotional impact of your injuries
Disability-related expenses – Like mobility aids, prosthetics, or modifications to your home
Psychological care – For anxiety, depression, or PTSD
Wrongful death damages – For families who’ve lost a loved one to a fatal industrial accident
Unlike workers’ comp, third-party lawsuits allow you to recover damages for pain and suffering and emotional trauma—not just economic losses.
Industrial injury cases require in-depth investigation, expert witnesses, and knowledge of federal OSHA standards and state labor laws. We deliver:
Decades of Personal Injury Experience – Including serious and catastrophic workplace injuries

Local Insight – We know how cases play out in Alexandria and Del Ray courts
