Defective Construction Equipment

Reliable Brooklyn Personal Injury Attorney

More construction workers are killed in the line of their work than in any other major profession in the United States. These workers face considerable danger every day on the job. The risk to their health and safety is further complicated by defective construction equipment. If you or someone you love has been injured on the job by a faulty piece of equipment, you should speak with one of Brooklyn's products liability attorneys as soon as possible to discuss your rights.

Defective Construction Vehicles

One way that construction workers can be seriously injured is if they are operating a faulty construction vehicle. Bulldozers, cranes, forklifts, and other types of construction vehicles pose a danger to the operators and to the other workers on the ground. If these vehicles are defective, they can cause an accident that could injure or kill construction workers who are in or around the vehicle. If you or someone you love sustained an injury due to a defective construction vehicle, you should speak with one of the dedicated Brooklyn construction accident lawyers at Belushin Law Firm.

Faulty Scaffolding Accidents

Much of the work done by construction workers is done at high elevations either indoors or outdoors. Platforms, staging, scaffolding, and guard rails are all required to keep workers safe from fall hazards. Falls from heights are the number one most deadly type of construction accident. The mechanisms that construction workers rely on to elevate them such as scaffolding and guard rails, must be functioning properly at all times.

Any defect in these systems can cause them to collapse and seriously injure or even kill the workers who were standing on them. If you or someone you love was injured in a scaffolding accident due to defects in the scaffolding or other system, you should speak with a Brooklyn defective scaffolding lawyer about a potential claim for relief.

Unreliable or Broken Construction Equipment

Tools and construction equipment are used on a daily basis at a work site. Some of the tools used by construction workers include nail guns, saws, jackhammers, planers, and other machinery. All of the tools with projectiles or working parts and gears can pose a serious safety hazard if they are not built properly and inspected regularly. Nail guns can cause serious injury if they fire at an inappropriate time. Other machines with working parts can cause crushed fingers and hands or a loss of a limb. Anyone who uses these machines regularly understands the importance that they are built and assembled with care.
