Pennsylvania Factory Injury Attorney
When body parts get caught in conveyors and other machinery with moving parts, the resulting injuries can be severe, and often fatal. According to a report by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, conveyors are the primary cause of more than 50 workplace fatalities per year.
Common causes of conveyor accidents include:
- Getting clothing, hair, fingers and other parts of the body caught in the machinery
- Starting the conveyor before other people are clear of the machine
- Servicing the conveyor when motor disconnect is not "locked out"
- Obstructions getting caught in the conveyor works
- Untrained workers operating the conveyor
If you or someone close to you has been injured in a conveyor accident, it is important to know and protect your rights. Our lawyers are experienced workers' compensation advocates who will work to help you obtain benefits at the highest scheduled rate. If the accident was the result of defective equipment, we can explore possible lawsuits against manufacturers or other third parties for damages in addition to workers' comp.
