Work Injury Caused by Defective Product

While safety is not an option, many manufacturers of heavy equipment and machinery products, including industrial equipment, believe safety has a price.

Defective Workplace Equipment

Tractors, scrapers, forklift, scaffolding, cranes, presses, and other heavy machinery or heavy equipment are often deadly if they are not designed with the worker/operator and knowledge of the real-world applications for which the products will be used.

When these machinery products are not designed properly or malfunction, then the manufacturer as well as retailer, may be held liable for the catastrophic personal injury which results. Notably, in a defective machinery product liability lawsuit, you may be able to secure compensation in addition to workers compensation benefits, which are very restrictive in Florida.

Product Manufacturers Can Be Held Liable for Work Injury

Oftentimes, heavy equipment and construction product manufacturers do not add key safety components and equipment, and instead call these important safety features “options.”  They do not add adequate guarding, stability, or key safety features standard - instead offering them (if at all) as “option.”

Work accident victims and their families receive little compensation from workers compensation.  This why a products liability claim against the manufacturer or retailer of the defective heavy machinery, defective industrial equipment, defective tractor, defective forklift, defective scraper, defective hauler, defective scaffolding, or defective crane, may be so important.

A work injury caused by a defective product may arise in many forms, and can be caused by all types of traumatic events, including:

• Construction Accident
  
  
• Motor Vehicle Accident
