In our twenty years of service to our clients, we have seen individuals suffer serious illness, long-lasting side effects and even death because of defective equipment.

If you have been injured or lost a loved one because of dangerous work equipment, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries including medical care, lost wages and other damages. The law firm you choose does make a difference between a life of pain and economic hardship and a future where monetary concerns are secondary to improving the quality of your life. Gary C.

There are over 105 million workers employed in the United States by some 7 million employers. The equipment used on a work site is governed by laws and regulations designed to protect workers and others at the site. These laws require that established safety procedures be adhered to so that injuries and fatalities are prevented. If you have been injured in the course of your work as a result of defective equipment, one or more of the companies in charge of the work may be responsible for your injuries, or you may be able to file a product liability claim against the manufacturer of the faulty equipment.

Examples of dangerous work equipment include:

• Badly designed hand tools such as screwdrivers, handsaws, drills and knives which strain wrists and cause carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.,
  
• Air powered machine tools that do not have fail-safe cut offs,
• Unguarded power tools or machine tools,
• Badly organized and ergonomically incorrect workstations,
• Assembly lines running at incorrect speeds,
  
• Sewing machines with elbow operated speed controls that cause Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI), and
  
• Printing machines causing unnecessary bending of the wrists to load the card/paper feed-hoppers.
  

If you have been injured by unsafe equipment, it is important to have your case evaluated and investigated by someone who understands the applicable laws as soon as possible after your injury. The Statutes of limitation requires that lawsuits be filed within a specified amount of time after the injury.
