If you were injured by construction equipment, then it’s important to investigate the situation fully to determine what caused the injury. Sometimes, it’s your own negligence that causes the incident. In these cases, consider using workers’ compensation to recover. At other times, though, it could be the equipment itself that was defective and caused your accident. In these situations, it might be possible to pursue a claim against the equipment manufacturer. A lack of safety regulations could also lead to your injury. OSHA rules and regulations require your employer to fully inform you about the risks and safety rules associated with various equipment before asking you to use them. If you were not properly trained or warned about the equipment, then it’s a good idea to contact a lawyer about your options.
