California Machinery Accident Lawyers
Accidents Involving Forklifts, Backhoes, Tractors, and Other Large Machinery
Construction sites are filled with machinery. From the small handheld machinery to the large construction equipment, careless use or improper use of any of the machines can cause a serious construction accident. When a serious machinery accident was the result of insufficient training, defective equipment, or lack of supervision, injured employees are entitled to compensation. If you have been seriously injured in a machinery accident, consult a professional construction accident attorney to ensure you receive the full compensation you are entitled to.
Types of Construction Machinery Injuries
Heavy equipment such as cranes, bulldozers, forklifts, excavators, tractors, or drilling machines can cause serious accidents. Because of the danger large construction machines pose, it is necessary to thoroughly train workers, equip them with necessary protective gear, and supervise employees. When any of this is lacking, or when the machines themselves are defective, accidents can occur; accidents that result in:
- Spinal cord injury
- Brain injury
- Loss of limb (amputation)
- Multiple broken bone injury
- Nerve damage
- Internal organ injury
- Severe burns
- Laceration wounds
When to Contact a Lawyer
While worker’s compensation can offer injured workers the means to seek medical attention and afford the necessary time off work to recuperate, it is not enough for serious injuries. For serious injuries, employees often require surgery, neural tests, physical therapy, chiropractic care, and in the case of permanent disability, occupational therapy. Worker’s compensation only allows a limited number of hospital visits and only occasionally allows chiropractic care. In addition, disability payments are typically a fraction of one’s monthly earnings and are available only for a limited time period. In cases where medical expenses are high with a lengthy recovery period, it is strongly urged to consult a professional construction accident attorney.
