Heavy equipment is inherently dangerous. Period. No machine is immune from the possibility of malfunction. When heavy machinery fails to work properly, people near it usually suffer the risk of injury.
The danger of heavy equipment has led to numerous and highly effective laws aimed at increasing workers’ safety. For this reason, it’s increasingly inexcusable that workers be injured from tools and equipment. When they are, they need and deserve compensation.
The workplace accident attorneys of Metzger & Kleiner, Attorneys at Law in Philadelphia and Allentown work effectively to pursue that compensation. Compensation likely won’t come from your employer due to Workers’ Compensation. Instead, it could come from a third party’s insurance coverage. We have handled dozens of work-related third party claims and have won six- and seven-figure awards in numerous cases.
For example, in a recent case our client suffered severe injuries to his leg when the scaffolding he was standing on collapsed. He was pleased with the result of the lawsuit we handed – a $775,000 settlement plus a waiver of workers’ compensation lien. In another construction site case, we obtained a sizeable and confidential award for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, disfigurement and other losses following a fall.
