Compensation for Damages in Industrial Machinery Accidents

The legal team at our firm has extensive experience in assisting the victims in industrial machinery accidents, including heavy equipment accidents, defective machinery injury cases and incidents of failure to warn. Cranes, tractors and other industrial machinery can be very dangerous and it is important for employees to be trained on safety practices. Failure to train employees is unacceptable and can cause serious injuries to those who are operating defective conveyor belts/punching machines. It is easy to become entangled and injured in drill press or lathe accidents. These dangerous machines require extensive safety training, and employees should be warned of the risks involved with operating such machines.

The attorneys at SHOOP | A PROFESIONAL LAW CORPORATION can assist the injured or their families in crane accidents and Cal-OSHA non-compliance cases. When explosions or commercial fires occur on industrial sites, the situation can quickly escalate with the presence of gas, chemicals or natural gas. If you were injured in a forklift rollover or while operating another machine, it may be because of missing safety guards on machines. It is up to supervisors and managers to make sure that safety guidelines are followed to avoid problems such as inaccessible or faulty shut-off switches or obstructed lines-of-site. There is no excuse for injury as a result of poor maintenance and our firm is dedicated to representing victims who have been injured because of negligence. Sometimes, an employee may be injured because of design flaws in equipment. For clients who have suffered brain injuries, electrocution, burns, bone crushing injuries, amputations, severed limbs, or families who have lost a loved one in a tragic work accident, we can assist with filing a wrongful death claim to seek compensation.

Evaluating Injury Claims in Industrial Machinery Accident Cases

When an injury occurs, it is important to contact our legal team as soon as possible. The documentation of the case should be carefully managed from the outset. We advise any person who has suffered injury in an industrial machinery accident to contact our firm at once. Many such accidents are the result of poor maintenance, faulty equipment or other serious situation. The claim filed on your behalf will go beyond the restrictions of Workers' Comp in many cases, as the third party, such as an equipment manufacturer, maintenance company or other entity may have liability and could be named in the lawsuit or claim filed on your behalf.
