Types of Equipment that May be Defective
Industrial equipment can arrive defective from the manufacturer, or can become defective when improperly used or maintained.
We are able to handle cases involving a variety of defective equipment, including:
- Hand tools
- Conveyor or feed belts
- Forklifts
- Hoists
- Cranes
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) publishes safety guidelines for equipment, and employers are required to meet and adhere to those guidelines. Workers using defective or malfunctioning equipment risk being severely injured or killed.
The Insurance Company’s Approach to the Case
Typically, when someone suffers an injury due to defective equipment, he or she must deal with an insurance company rather than directly with the manufacturer or a maintenance company. Insurance companies have deep pockets and use those resources to defend the case. Many times they will try to win by blaming the injured worker.
