Common types of machinery accident
Caught-In/Between Accidents
This occurs when a worker is squeezed, caught, crushed, or compressed between two or more objects. These incidents often involve heavy machinery and fixed structures, leading to catastrophic injuries. A specialized attorney can investigate the incident to determine if poor safety protocols or equipment malfunction were the cause.
Equipment Rollovers
Tractors, forklifts, and heavy construction vehicles have a high center of gravity and can roll over on uneven ground or during sharp turns. These accidents frequently result in severe crushing injuries or fatalities for the operator. An experienced lawyer can analyze the scene and equipment to establish liability.
Struck-By Accidents
These incidents involve a worker being forcibly struck by a piece of equipment, a falling load, or a flying object from a machine. Struck-by accidents are a leading cause of injury on construction sites. An attorney can help determine the root cause, whether it was operator negligence, lack of protective barriers, or improper load securing.
Electrocutions
Contact with overhead power lines, live wires, or defective machinery can cause severe electrical burns and electrocution. These cases require a thorough investigation into safety procedures and equipment maintenance logs. An attorney experienced in electrocution cases can identify all liable parties.
Entanglement Accidents
A worker's loose clothing, hair, or limbs can get caught in the moving parts of a machine, such as belts, rollers, or gears, pulling them into the equipment. These accidents often result in amputations or death. A lawyer can prove that a lack of proper machine guarding or safety shutoffs led to the injury.
Mechanical Failures
Injuries can occur when a machine or one of its components fails due to a manufacturing defect, poor maintenance, or metal fatigue. This can include brake failure, hydraulic system blowouts, or structural collapse. A skilled attorney can bring in engineering experts to prove the equipment was faulty and hold the manufacturer or maintenance company responsible.
