Industrial & Machine Accidents

Representation for Injured Workers in Massachusetts and Rhode Island

After an industrial accident that causes serious injury, obtaining compensation and payment for your medical treatment often requires strong legal advocacy. At the Law Office of Deborah G. Kohl in Fall River, Massachusetts, you will find attorneys and staff familiar with the many different programs and systems that may apply in your individual situation.

Backed by decades of experience, combined with fresh legal perspective, we relate well to any and all clients facing serious physical, emotional and financial hardship. Our three attorneys are highly professional yet friendly and plainspoken. We offer a free, helpful consultation and provide most services on a contingency basis – so you will owe no fees unless we are able to obtain compensation for you.

Proven Advocates for Industrial Accident Injury Victims

Our region is home to many people with physically demanding and sometimes risky jobs in manufacturing, the trades, inmate related corrections, and the maritime industry.

  • Falls and impact injuries
