Faulty Machinery

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), construction is the third-most dangerous occupation, trailing only mining and agriculture. Although OSHA strictly regulates standards relating to workplace safety, numerous accidents occur at construction sites each year, especially in places with heavy machinery and construction vehicles. In fact, each year, roughly one in every ten workers at a construction site will suffer some form of work-related injury. More than 1,000 of these injuries are fatal. Machines have the potential to injure workers in a variety of ways. Many machines have sharp edges, moving pieces, and hot surfaces. In general, a common cause of accidents at construction sites relates to the general wear and tear of machinery equipment. If machinery is not maintained and serviced on a regular basis, workers at the construction site are at a greater risk for personal injury. Malfunctions and general operation error are also reasons for machinery at construction sites to cause personal injury to the workers.

We Explore All Avenues Of Potential Liability To Hold At-Fault Parties Accountable

In many cases, liability will be shared among several entities. Employers and contractors are responsible for maintaining safe equipment and may be held liable if the injury occurred because the machinery was not well maintained. If the injury is caused by a defect in the machine's design, the manufacturer may be responsible, along with architects or engineers who are not directly present at the construction site at the time of the incident. Engineers may also have a duty to inspect the machinery on a regular basis to ensure that the design is properly followed and that the employer/employee is complying with proper regulations. Even further liability may exist among property owners and insurance companies.

The Consequences Are Many And Often Severe

Workers who suffer a construction accident resulting from faulty machinery may be out of work for a long time; the majority of these injuries keep the injured worker from returning to the job for longer than one month. Their injuries can be severe and may include crushed limbs, amputations, severe burns, or blindness. Hospital bills, lost income, long periods of instability, and the possibility of a permanent impairment can be emotionally and financially overwhelming to the injured person and his or her family. Construction work is physically demanding in nature and usually requires the full use of one's body to work effectively. As a result, injuries from faulty machinery may destroy an entire career. Construction work also requires technical training and it may be difficult for the victim to establish a new career in an unfamiliar field.

We went to Bellotti Law for help with a car injury to a pedestrian in a hospital parking garage.
