Construction Accidents Caused by Defective Equipment

Workers at construction sites are required to work with powerful tools, machinery and equipment on a regular basis. They put themselves at a greater risk for injuries when the equipment and machinery are defective.

Some of the most common defects in machinery and equipment include: Inadequate or non-existent safety guards and shields Defective power and emergency switches Defective wiring Insufficient directions and safety warnings

How can injured workers recover damages? Injured workers can generally recover damages for their injuries by filing a Workers’ Compensation claim. Additionally, if the injuries were the result of defects in the machinery or equipment, victims may recover damages by filing product liability claims against third parties such as manufacturers and suppliers.
