Defective Vehicle Claims
Serving Buffalo, New York
Construction sites in Buffalo, New York are home to many different vehicles throughout the site clearing and building process, including:
- Bulldozers
- Forklifts
- Back hoes
- Tractors
- Trucks
- Cranes
Defective Vehicle Injuries
When these vehicles stop working as they should, any number of serious defective vehicle claims can occur, including:
- Broken bones
- Crushed hands or fingers
- Amputations
- Severe lacerations
- Internal trauma
These types of injuries are not only expensive to treat, but they can also leave workers temporarily unable to work and even permanently handicapped.
While workers’ compensation can cover a percentage of medical costs and lost wages, it does not generally cover all costs. It also doesn’t compensate victims for the extensive disability, pain and suffering associated with their injuries and loss. In these cases, it is necessary to file a personal injury lawsuit and John Feroleto Attorneys at Law are the experienced and dedicated defective vehicle attorneys you’ll want vigorously fighting for your rights.
Negligent Parties in Defective Vehicle Lawsuits
The manufacturers of construction-related vehicles are legally responsible for designing them to be safe and ensuring their continued safety with the appropriate maintenance. However, many other parties can be held liable if the vehicle becomes defective. These can include a negligent maintenance or repair company, or a contractor or subcontractor that did not have the vehicle serviced or repaired correctly when necessary.
