Dangerous, Unsafe or Defective Equipment Accident

THE NEED FOR CERTAIN EQUIPMENT AT CONSTRUCTION SITES IS APPARENT; INJURY TO THOSE WHO USE THEM SHOULD NOT BE AS APPARENT

South Florida has always been developing the land down here to accommodate for the growth in population, a booming tourism, and simply to keep up on the modern times. With as many construction projects that can be taking place at any given time, there is even more equipment that can be found at each one of these construction sites.

For many of us, it is obvious that there is a need for tools and equipment when construction is taking place; however, what we sometimes fail to recognize is that these pieces of equipment and tools can be dangerous, unsafe, and at times defectives. Some of the tools and equipment commonly found at construction sites include:

  • Cranes
  • Forklifts
  • Elevators / Lift Mechanisms
  • Scaffolding
  • Welding Machinery

Injuries that occur because of dangerous, unsafe, or defective equipment happen far too often at construction sites. It is important to know that someone may be liable for your injuries and any expenses related to those injuries. Madalon Law has experienced construction accident attorneys who are prepared to litigate your accident case against the responsible party.

HOW EQUIPMENT CAN CAUSE INJURY

In dealing with dangerous, unsafe, or defective equipment accident cases, there can be a multitude of reasons why a person receives an injury. Equipment being used at construction sites, or equipment being manufactured and installed at plants can both cause severe injury to a person. Some of the more specific and common causes of injuries from dangerous, unsafe, or defective equipment include:

  • Equipment lacking safety mechanism;
  • Using equipment in an improper manner;
  • Equipment that was defective from the manufacturer;
  • Failing to maintain equipment properly;
  • Disregarding safety precautions

POSSIBLE PARTIES WHO MAY BE LIABLE TO YOU

The process of figuring out who is liable to you for your injuries can be complicated. The fastest way to help you determine who is responsible is to contact Madalon Law and their experienced legal team. After speaking with a construction accident attorney, you will be aware of the process and steps taken by them to locate the party liable to you.

There may in fact be more than one person who is actually liable for your injuries. That is why it is extremely necessary to have legal guidance in finding all possible parties who may owe you compensation. When it comes to construction accidents involving dangerous, unsafe, or defective equipment, a possible liable party may be:

  • Employer
  • Equipment Manufacturer
  • Co-Worker(s) / Supervisor / Other Company on Site
  • Property Owner of Construction Site
  • Third Party Visitor on Site

Do not allow the complexities of locating the appropriate parties liable to you to hinder a possible recovery for your injury. Call Madalon Law now and have the investigation begin, and your headache disappear.
