If an industrial accident occurs, Kanzlei Dr. Schmitz is ready to provide professional support. Highly-specialised professional knowledge is first applied during the registration of the accident by the police, the very quick production of records and supportive presence during inspections by social agencies.

If other employees are interviewed about an industrial accident, witnesses can be immediately advised by Kanzlei Dr. Schmitz lawyers or by colleagues from the network.

Accidents such as these – especially if someone has been killed or the accident has resulted in considerable environmental pollution – frequently result in criminal investigations. It is important in such cases to protect the company by ensuring that investigations are pointed in the right direction from the very start.

Our lawyers also work with the relevant insurance companies and obtain compensation for damages where appropriate. Ultimately, criminal investigations against management employees must be brought to a satisfactory conclusion. Ideally proceedings will be dropped. However, in some cases proceedings may be referred to the municipal authorities for further (incidental) administrative offence proceedings. Here again Kanzlei Dr. Schmitz lawyers are ready to provide their expert advice and representation.

Kanzlei Dr. Schmitz has been successfully involved in lengthy investigations and proceedings in this field, and is recommended by the insurance industry as well as law firms specialising in these issues.
