Protecting Injured Workers
And Their Families For The Short And Long Term

When A Dangerous Machine Leaves A Worker Injured

Whether in manufacturing, maintenance, repairs or construction, heavy and fast-moving machines are a vital part of many occupations. Frequent contact between workers and hazardous devices occasionally leads to machine accidents and injuries, including:

An injured worker can usually receive workers’ compensation benefits that pay for medical care and partially compensate the employee for lost wages. However, workers’ compensation does not account for pain and suffering. Also, many employees injured by machinery on the job do not recover enough from workers’ compensation alone to make up for all losses.

Other sources of recovery may include a third-party liability claim against a manufacturer of defective equipment or another person or organization besides the employer. When a serious injury sidelines someone from being able to work for a year or longer, Social Security Disability benefits may also fill some financial gaps.
