Did You Suffer a Workplace Injury Involving Work Equipment?
Industrial, construction and mining accidents, as well as other workplace accidents, are often caused by defective equipment used while performing work duties. Cases involving defective or dangerous machinery may be significantly different from other types of workplace accident cases. With more than 65 years of combined experience on our side, we know how to handle these cases successfully. We are the lawyers of Friday & Cox LLC.
Erie Machinery Accident Attorneys
We handle cases involving:
- Punch press accidents
- Drill press accidents
- Grinder accidents
- Forklift accidents
- Crane accidents
- Other types of machines
Regardless of the type of equipment involved in the accident, we will take great care to find out who was responsible and take the appropriate action.
Who Was Responsible for the Machine Accident?
Investigation is particularly critical in these cases, because it could open up opportunities to expand your compensation beyond what is offered through the workers' compensation system. Was the accident caused because the employer or someone else at the work site removed guards or tampered with safety switches? Insufficient safety protection is often at the heart of these cases. In other cases, the machinery may have been poorly maintained, and the employer is responsible.
Sometimes, our investigation reveals that the case is truly a defective product case, which is a type of personal injury case. If we discover that the manufacturer of the equipment designed it poorly, or that there were manufacturing defects, we will take action against the manufacturer to maximize your compensation. This may be in addition to the workers' compensation we will help you obtain.
