Protecting Your Rights

Factories, warehouses and construction sites are dangerous places, made more dangerous by poorly designed or defective machinery. In some cases, independent equipment service companies have been known to alter or remove safety guards from industrial equipment.

When the catastrophic failure of an industrial machine or construction tool causes an injury, the accident victim can claim compensation for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses. If you have been injured by the failure or malfunction of equipment, you should speak with an experienced product liability attorney as soon as possible.
