Beaver County Attorneys Representing Accidental Injury Victims
Construction Accidents · Heavy Equipment Injuries
Heavy equipment that is used for construction includes cranes, bobcats and bulldozers. Injuries resulting from contact with heavy equipment at a construction site, at a factory, warehouse or farm; or in any industrial setting are often very serious injuries including the following:
- Crush injuries
- Amputation
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Spinal cord injury
- Fatality
If the injured person was working at the time, a workers' compensation claim may be initiated right away, while an ongoing investigation may help determine whether there will be additional third-party liability claims involving manufacturers, maintenance services or operators of heavy equipment.
It is not unusual to learn that a heavy equipment injury was caused by human error such as the following:
- Poor training and supervision
- Inadequate maintenance
- Poor management
- Failure of supervisors to provide a safe work environment
- Violation of OSHA safety requirements
- Failure to use or wear appropriate safety equipment
- Failure to employ safety mechanisms on the equipment itself
- Poor product design
