Product Liability Lawyers in Southern Ohio & Northern Kentucky
Whether it’s in construction, oil fields, or power plants, industrial environments are generally equipped with complex and highly dangerous machinery. It is imperative that such equipment be designed and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. If a machine is poorly designed or improperly manufactured, the risk of injury is significantly higher. If you've been injured in an industrial accident caused by defective machinery, The Moore Law Firm is ready to help.
Common Causes of Industrial Accidents
Based on statistics taken by the Bureau of Labor in 2009, industrial accidents were the cause of over 1.2 million workers missing time from work due to injuries and 4,340 deaths in the United States. Despite federal laws and company policies to protect worker safety, accidents in the workplace occur quite frequently.
The main causes of accidents involving machinery are the following:
- Improper maintenance – Regular equipment maintenance is vital in order to ensure that the equipment runs safely and smoothly. When a piece of equipment fails to be maintained as scheduled, it can ultimately malfunction and fail, resulting in dangerous consequences when a worker decides to operate it.
- Manufacturing defects – These defects can exist in a piece of equipment or in the materials used. Despite quality-control measures taken during the manufacturing process, they may fail.
