Machinery

Serving Buffalo, New York

Industrial machine workers in the Buffalo and Niagara, New York area have a high risk of sustaining severe injuries on the job. This is because industrial machinery combines a variety of quickly moving and potentially dangerous parts that need proper safeguarding. Some of the most hazardous machine parts include:

• Unguarded pinch points
• Cutting, shaping and boring components
• Meshing gears and feed mechanisms
• Rapidly moving belts
• Reciprocating arms

Even smooth, slowly rotating shafts can grip your clothing and cause an arm or leg to move into a compromising position or be pulled into the machinery. When something like this happens, severe industrial machinery injuries can take place, including:

• Crushed fingers or hands
• Amputations
• Burns
• Blindness

Workers’ compensation benefits cannot fully cover the medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering caused by such dramatic injuries. So if the accident was caused due to the negligence of someone else, it is often necessary to file a personal injury lawsuit. Depending on the specific circumstances that caused the injury, the machine manufacturer, repair company, or others could be held liable in court for your damages.
