Chapel Hill Defective Machinery Attorney

Construction Equipment - Farm Equipment - Industrial Machines

North Carolina Personal Injury Lawyer

Whether you're a construction worker or a printing press operator, large industrial equipment and industrial machinery pose a certain amount of physical risk. The designers and manufacturers of these machines used on jobsites have the obligation to make sure their machines are as safe as possible for employees. If you were injured by a machine on your job, you may have both a products liability claim and a Worker Comp claim. When a design defect causes catastrophic injuries or even death, we can help you do something about it.

About Workers' Compensation

When you're injured on the job, as an employee there are several important things to consider before you move forward with or settle a Worker's Comp claim. If you simply report the accident and accept only what's offered to you, you're likely not getting the compensation you will need to cover all current and future lost wages, current and future medical care, reconstructive surgeries, loss of quality of life. Worker Comp claims provide no compensation for your pain and suffering. As a products liability law firm, we will investigate the equipment manufacturer's liability and all aspects of your case, helping you obtain maximum compensation via settlement or jury award.

If you are in the process of filing a Worker's Comp claim, you are welcome to call our office for a free consultation with an experienced personal injury attorney who will explain every option available to you. While we typically handle only the products liability aspect of your claim, we have worked successfully with leading Worker Comp attorneys in many cases.

Helping the Injured Collect Compensation
Through Products Liability Law

If a machine, piece of farming equipment, or product is defective or is poorly designed or malfunctions and it causes you physical harm, our firm can help you get compensation through a products liability claim.

If a loved one was killed in an accident involving defective machinery, we can pursue a wrongful death claim to get compensation for your loss. Though monetary compensation cannot replace a lost limb, restore burned tissue, or bring back a loved one, it can be a critical and pivotal step on the road to recovery or to provide the financial resources to support the injured employee’s family.
