Injured in an Equipment or Machinery Accident in Florida?

Heavy machinery and equipment are essential for various construction and industrial projects. They are also crucial for material handling, woodworking, and metalworking. These machines can weigh tons, and the tools involved can weigh hundreds of pounds, requiring specialized training for safe operation and maintenance. Despite the necessity for such training, serious machinery accidents frequently occur in Florida, often due to inadequate training, unsafe working conditions, or negligence by contractors and subcontractors.

Common Causes of Machinery Accidents

Machinery accidents often result from:

• Equipment or tool malfunction
• Misuse of machinery
• Operator error

Accidents involving cranes, bulldozers, loaders, skid steers, and backhoes can be devastating. Regardless of the machinery type, heavy equipment accidents can lead to severe injuries or fatalities, including:

• Brain injuries
• Facial and body disfigurement
• Loss of limbs
• Paralysis
• Fractures
• Severe burns

The Impact of Machinery Accidents

When a construction worker suffers injuries from machinery while on the job, the financial burdens related to catastrophic injuries, medical care, and lost income can be overwhelming. In some cases, these injuries may prevent a worker from returning to their previous occupation. The emotional and financial toll on the worker’s family can be even greater if an employee loses their life in a machinery accident. Fortunately, many of these accidents and the resulting losses can be avoided with proper precautions and training.
