HEAVY EQUIPMENT ACCIDENTS
Heavy equipment accidents are a leading cause of workplace injuries.
New York construction workers are constantly at risk for injury due to the presence of heavy equipment on construction sites. In fact, heavy equipment accidents are one of the leading causes of workplace injuries in the United States. Even when heavy construction equipment is operated carefully by properly trained workers, a worker using the equipment can experience mishap and failure, especially if it is overused or improperly maintained. Product defects can also be the cause of heavy equipment accidents on construction sites. When cranes, forklifts, ladders, power tools, scaffolding, backhoes, and hoists are improperly designed or manufactured, construction workers are put at great risk for injury. Lack of proper instructions or safety warnings, co-worker negligence, and inadequate supervision by the construction company, are additional factors that may contribute to heavy equipment accidents. Accidents involving heavy equipment are often catastrophic and can result in death or a life-altering injury, such as a traumatic brain injury or loss of a limb.
