Crush Injury Claims

Crush Injury Claims

Crush injuries are serious and often life-altering, typically occurring in industries where heavy machinery, vehicles, or equipment are used. 

These injuries can lead to permanent disabilities, significant medical expenses, and emotional trauma. 

If your injury resulted from employer negligence or unsafe working conditions, you could be entitled to compensation.

Causes of Crush Injuries

  1. Heavy Machinery Accidents: Faulty or poorly maintained equipment.
  2. Falling Objects: Inadequately secured materials or loads.
  3. Vehicle Collisions: Workplace accidents involving forklifts, cranes, or other vehicles.
  4. Collapsed Structures: Poorly constructed or unstable workplace environments.

Employer Responsibilities

Employers must take all reasonable steps to prevent crush injuries, including:

  • Ensuring machinery is regularly inspected and maintained.
  • Providing adequate training to employees handling heavy equipment.
  • Enforcing the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Clearly marking hazardous areas and implementing strict safety protocols.
