Davie Heavy Equipment Failures

Manufacturers of heavy equipment used in industries and on construction sites have an obligation to ensure that their equipment is safe. When heavy equipment fails to act as expected, serious injuries can result. If you have been injured in this manner, it is important to consult with a personal injury attorney in Davie or your community before you make any decisions about your case.

The injuries that you sustain in this type of incident are likely to be serious and expensive. You want to ensure that you get fair compensation for your injuries so that you do not jeopardize your family's financial future by paying for your injuries and lost wages out-of-pocket. If you would like to speak with a personal injury attorney about your situation, you can always reach Flaxman Law Group for a free, no obligation consultation.

Why Does Machinery Failure Happen?

Heavy equipment can fail for number of reasons:

  • It is designed incorrectly
  • It is old and has not been maintained correctly
  • It has not been replaced as required by a workplace or construction site manager
  • It is not used correctly or employees are not given proper training on its correct use
  • It is manufactured with flaws
  • It is damaged during shipment or set up

Because there are so many reasons why heavy equipment can fail, there are multiple liable parties possible in cases where heavy equipment causes serious or permanent injuries. It is often important to speak with a personal injury attorney in order to determine exactly what happened in your case and what your legal options are.

Should You Pursue a Heavy Equipment Failure Case in Davie?

Even if you think you may have a claim, you may wonder whether you should pursue legal action. You may be worried about your relationship with your employer or you may assume that medical coverage or workers compensation will help pay for your head injury, fracture, amputation, or other serious injury. Unfortunately, insurance companies do sometimes undervalue serious injuries, especially in cases where longer-term injuries are involved. Once you have accepted insurance money, though, you may have given up some of your rights to pursue compensation if you realize later on that your injuries cost more than you realized. For this reason, it is a good idea to consult with a personal injury attorney first – before you sign any documentation or accept any money in your case. An attorney can help you see the long-term costs of your injuries and can help you review your options. In addition to pursuing a personal injury claim, it may be possible to negotiate with insurance carriers in your case or you may be able to apply for local resources that can help.
