Investigating Machine Accident Amputations

Accidents are far too common in jobs involving the use of heavy equipment. OSHA statistics point to power presses, shears, slitters, slicers and defective saws as the machines most often associated with amputation accidents.

Machine amputation accidents are most likely to occur as a result of:

• Improper maintenance
• Missing or improper use of machine guards
• Failure to property train employees to operate dangerous equipment

Our law firm thoroughly investigates machine accident amputation cases, seeking to identify all liable parties. In many situations, your employer may be held accountable through a workers' compensation claim. However, if it can be proven that the machinery involved in your accident was defective, it may be possible to file a third party lawsuit against the manufacturer of the defective product.
