Third-Party Liability and Equipment Injuries
The workers' compensation system generally covers medical bills and lost wages that result from an on-the-job injury. In some cases, a third party such as an equipment manufacturer or contractor may also be held liable for your injuries. Third-party liability claims allow an injured worker to collect compensation beyond the basic costs of the injury. In cases involving defective equipment, we help clients determine who was liable, including equipment manufacturers, designers and others. We aggressively represent our clients' interests in and out of court in third-party liability cases.
Safety Guards and Defective Tools
Electrocution may result if a tool is not properly grounded or if a safety guard is not in place. In addition to electrocution, amputation injuries are often the result of a malfunctioning piece of equipment. Mechanical presses, conveyor belts and other heavy machinery can cause severe injuries if they are not working properly. The key to obtaining proper compensation is to show how the defective equipment caused the injury and to show the extent of the injury and how it has affected your life.
