Industrial Product and Heavy Equipment Claims
Industrial products, for example, tractors, forklifts, scaffolding and cranes, can be deadly if they are not designed to address inherent risks and safety concerns. Forklifts account for thousands of serious injuries and dozens of deaths each year in American workplaces. Government inspectors report that each year 100 workers are killed and 20,000 seriously injured in forklift-related accidents alone. Victims of industrial and heavy equipment product defects are entitled to seek restitution from the manufacturers and distributors of these products. Often, claims of these types arise from worksite accidents, and if catastrophic injuries result from an accident, the potential role of a defect should be explored.
