We are ready to fight for the full compensation that you deserve.
Injury Claims After Equipment Accidents
If a third-party contractor or machine manufacturer is responsible for your accident, it is possible for you to seek compensation through a personal injury or wrongful death claim, especially if your workers’ compensation benefits are not adequate or applicable. Our lawyers handle third-party injury claims for injured construction and industrial workers, including those that involve faulty equipment or machinery. When you need to pursue financial compensation to recover your losses, come to our firm.
Compensation from a construction equipment injury claim can be used to cover:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Ongoing treatment expenses
- Pain and suffering
The previous list of compensation is not exhaustive. There may be many other types of damages that apply to your case. Our attorneys are here to make sure all applicable damages are counted and added to the case’s value.
Injuries Caused by Heavy Machinery Accidents
Due to the nature of most construction sites, there may be several types of heavy machinery in use at any given time, from bulldozers to cranes to excavators. We can work on cases that involve virtually any type of heavy machinery.
It only takes a single moment of negligence, a faulty mechanism, or poor training to cause serious or fatal injuries, such as:
- Amputations
- Bone fractures
- Burn injuries
- Crush injuries
- Electrocution
- Paralysis
- Spinal cord damage
- Traumatic brain injuries
