Tamarac Heavy Equipment Failures

A construction site accident or workplace accident involving heavy equipment failure is often devastating. These types of accidents often result in serious injuries, such as head injuries, burns, amputations, and even fatalities because of the dangers of heavy machinery. These types of workplace accidents in Tamarac and other communities often mean that a worker loses time off work and cannot return to work for some time while also facing growing medical bills. This situation can often cause financial devastation for entire families.

It is often difficult to tell whether a construction site accident in Tamarac or another serious accident has been caused by heavy equipment failure. In many cases, it takes a very thorough investigation by private investigators to determine exactly what has happened. In these cases, there may be multiple liable parties. The person who maintains the equipment, purchased the equipment, or owns the equipment may be held partly liable if the equipment was altered or incorrectly used. In addition, the manufacturer may be held partly liable if the equipment was defective due to a design flaw or manufacturing defect.

However, determining this is a highly technical process and requires engineers, accident reconstruction experts, as well as other professionals who can carefully investigate the equipment and the accident in question.

After your workplace accident, you may be very concerned about the future and you may be dealing with the insurance claims process as well as with medical treatment for an amputation, fractures, back injury, head injury, and any other injury you have sustained. You may think you don’t have the time or energy to work with a lawyer, but this can be an expensive mistake. Not securing evidence right now and not pursuing justice now can mean that you sign away some of your rights and cannot pursue compensation later on. It is important to consult with a personal injury attorney soon after your accident.

If you have been injured in any workplace accident involving heavy equipment, you will have questions and if you want answers, you can always reach Flaxman Law Group to arrange for a free accident consultation to discuss your situation with a personal injury attorney. Your initial consultation is your chance to find out whether you have a legal claim and to find out how much that claim may be worth.
