Heavy Machinery Accident Compensation

Tractors, bulldozers and other heavy duty vehicles driven on building sites are essential for the movement of earth and other heavy loads. However, if operated unsafely, heavy machinery can inflict the most devastating injuries to other workers.

Many heavy machinery accidents are caused by unqualified or uninsured operators. Employers can be held responsible for allowing untrained workers to operate deadly equipment.
Third party employees can also be liable for injuries caused through the negligent operation of heavy machinery.

Workers are commonly struck or run over by earth moving equipment. Employees can also be at risk of being hit by falling objects from top loading vehicles

As a result of the weight and force involved in many heavy machinery accidents, crush injuries and bone fractures are common. These types of injuries can involve hospitalisation and multiple surgeries.
