Dangerous/Unsafe/Defective Equipment Accidents

Construction workers and construction sites in Miami and across South Florida rely on equipment and products ranging from tools to heavy machinery such as cranes in order to build apartment buildings, complexes, commercial buildings, and other projects. Workers rely on manufacturers to create safe, effects products that help them do their job. Unfortunately, each year thousands of construction workers and employees are seriously injured or even killed due to defective products in the workplace. These products can include cranes, construction site vehicles, power tools, safety equipment, and work clothes.

Injuries resulting from defective equipment result in head injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns, and other serious injuries in Miami and across South Florida each year. If you are seriously injured in a workplace accident and believe that a defective product was to blame, it is important to consult with a personal injury attorney who can investigate your accident and can find all liable parties in your case. If a defective product has contributed to your injuries, you may have a legal claim against the manufacturer or retailer of the product as well as against the construction site employer or site owner. Pursuing multiple liable parties increases the chances that you may get fair compensation that covers more of your medical bills, lost income, and other accident related costs. The Flaxman Law Group legal team has spent decades pursuing fair compensation on behalf of workplace accident victims and other personal injury victims in Miami and across South Florida.

If you are injured in a fork lift accident, slip and fall accident, or other workplace accident in Miami or anywhere in South Florida, there may be multiple liable parties, including:

• Other parties

Determining who is liable for your workplace accident and personal injuries in Miami and South Florida can be a complex process. Often, the best way to get answers is to work with a personal injury attorney in Miami or in your community. A personal injury attorney works with accident reconstruction experts as well as with private investigators who can examine exactly what occurred at the time of your accident in order to determine all responsible parties. Finding all liable parties can help you get fairer compensation for your injuries.

If you are injured in the workplace, your first priority should be to get medical help and report your injuries. Beyond that, however, you will want to contact a personal injury attorney and you will want to document your injuries as well as preserve any evidence in your case. For example, if you believe that your injuries were caused by a defective product in the workplace, keep that product so that your personal injury attorney and the law firm’s private investigators can have access to it.
