What Causes Machinery Defects?

Unfortunately, machinery defects are more common than many people think. An employer’s failure to keep work equipment serviced to the highest standards can result in serious injury and sometimes even death. If a company’s negligence causes a machinery problem, the injured worker may be able to file a lawsuit against them.

Accidents and injuries can also be the result of the designer, manufacturer, or distributor of the machinery. When these companies do not take the time to ensure their products are made well and include all the necessary warnings consumers may need, they put real people in danger.

Issues that commonly cause injuries include:

• Absent or poorly placed shut-off switches
• Failure to provide guards on saws
• Ladders that collapse
• Cranes that drop loads
• Defective forklifts, bulldozers, and backhoes
• Compaction equipment malfunction
• Hole-punching equipment defects
• Defective agricultural machinery

Help After a Machine-Caused Accident

The injuries caused by product defects are serious and may not be completely treatable. They include

• Loss of limb
• Traumatic brain injury

During their recovery, employees may miss many paychecks or even find they will not be able to return to the same job. We understand these financial hardships compound physical hardships, and we’re here to help if you’re in this situation.
