What Factory Accidents Can Lead To Workers’ Compensation?

Factory work carries risks, whether on an assembly line, operating a forklift, manufacturing or handling heavy machinery. Injuries can disrupt your life and livelihood. Common accidents include:

• Machinery mishaps: Faulty or unguarded machines can result in crushing or amputation injuries.
• Repetitive stress injuries: Tasks like packing or assembly can cause conditions like carpal tunnel.
• Equipment accidents: Improper use or failure of a pallet jack or forklift can lead to serious trauma.
• Overexertion: Lifting, pushing or pulling heavy loads can lead to back or joint injuries.
• Slips and falls: Cluttered floors or defective equipment often cause serious falls.

Any workers’ compensation injury claim requires careful steps. Mistakes can jeopardize your benefits. Moreover, insurance companies often delay or deny rightful payouts, leaving you stressed and financially strained. That is where a dedicated lawyer can make a difference by fighting to protect your rights.

Our skilled attorneys guide you through every stage. While you could file a claim alone, insurance companies often exploit errors to reduce payouts.
