Compensation from a construction equipment injury claim can be used to cover:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages

  • 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

  • Paralysis
