Machinery Defects & Workplace Accidents
In the workplace or at a construction site, defective machinery may cause serious or fatal injuries. Particularly in industrial settings, in factories or plants and at construction sites, workers rely upon heavy machinery and equipment to work properly. Unfortunately, a defective product, as well as poor maintenance or implementation of safety regulations may cause accidents and injuries to occur. A manufacturing or design defect may affect any of a number of different types of machinery or equipment.
A defective machinery accident may involve the following:
- Cranes
- Forklifts
- Bulldozers
- Compaction equipment
- Dumpers
- Excavators
- Backhoes
- Drill presses
- Agricultural equipment
- Industrial equipment
- Construction equipment
An explosion,
electrocution or
amputation may result from a machinery defect, as may crush injuries or a fall. Depending on the particular matter, a lawsuit or claim may be brought against your employer or perhaps the manufacturer of the defective machine or equipment. By investigating your case and working with experts in the field as necessary, an experienced attorney can work to take the legal action you deserve and recover the money you need for medical care and more.
