Unfortunately, injuries from defective products,
equipment or machinery are all too common. When the injury happens
in the workplace, questions of liability are often raised as to
whether the equipment manufacturer, parts manufacturer, distributor,
maintenance technician, employer and/or the worker may be at fault.
An experienced injury attorney will know how to wade through these
many layers of responsibility and achieve appropriate compensation
for the injured party.
Our
extensive experience in this area includes:
•
A textile factory worker who lost his hand in the unguarded
rollers of a fabric dying machine. The machine did not include
a safety switch to prevent remote operation of the machine.
• A factory worker who lost the use of his hand in an
industrial mixing machine. The machine was able to operate from
a remote location even though the door was open.
• A laborer who lost his arm when his sleeve became entangled
in the moving rollers of an industrial recycling machine. The
moving parts of
the machine were not properly guarded.
• A printing press operator injured by an unguarded gear
on the press; the injury ensued because the worker was required
to touch the moving parts of the press during operation.
• A factory worker who was severely injured when a forklift
overturned.
• Workers using unguarded table saws, knitting machines,
punch presses, power presses, metal forming equipment and bakery
equipment.
• A grocery worker injured while using a meat grinder.
The chute of the grinder was too large and his hand became entangled
in the grinding mechanism as he was feeding meat into the machine.
• A restaurant owner who injured when his hand became
entangled in a pasta machine. The automatic stop failed to function
properly when the pasta chute cover was opened, causing the
owner to lose his hand.
• A pizzeria employee whose hand was injured by a commercial
cheese grinder while feeding cheese into the hopper of the machine.
• A worker using a snow blower who injured his hand when
he attempted to clear wet snow that had clogged the chute. The
machine was not equipped with a “dead-man” control
to stop the machine from moving when the operator let go of
the handles.
• A New York City Housing Authority worker who lost his
hand when a trash compactor activated even though the door of
the machine was open.
