Heavy machines run our warehouses, factories, construction sites, and food processing plants across Bergen County and the rest of New Jersey. When a machine fails or a safety system breaks down, the worker pays the price.
Machine injuries tend to be severe because of the forces involved. A press exerts thousands of pounds of pressure. A conveyor moves at speeds that the human body cannot react to in time. A saw blade does not pause for a slipped hand. The result is often crushed bones, deep cuts, amputations, burns, and head trauma.
These cases also tend to be complicated. There is your employer, your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier, and possibly the company that built or maintained the machine. Each has its own interests, and those interests are not always the same as yours. https://bit.ly/4oKPYTg
