New Jersey Machine Injury Lawyer

Machine Injury Lawyer NJ

Industrial equipment and work machinery can be dangerous to New Jersey workers. Faulty maintenance, inadequate training and insufficient safety measures are just a few of the possible causes of a serious machine injury.

And when the equipment is defectively designed or manufactured, the potential for injury is increased. As a New Jersey worker, you have the right to a safe and properly maintained workspace with adequate training and effective safety precautions to prevent machine injuries.

When these rights are not upheld, the Reinartz Law Firm is equipped to take on the responsible parties and help you get the compensation you need and deserve for your injuries.

Machine Injuries in New Jersey

If you have suffered an on-the-job machine injury, New Jersey workers’ compensation insurance may be available to pay for your medical treatment and provide temporary disability while you are out of work. Depending upon the nature and severity of your condition, you may also receive vocational rehabilitation, permanent disability payments and/or coverage for other associated expenses and losses.

However, in machine injury cases there is also the possibility of a product liability claim if the machine was defectively designed, manufactured and/or maintained by a third-party. In this regard, you may be able to pursue additional compensation from the manufacturer, distributor, seller or other responsible third party through a separate product liability and/or personal injury claim.

The following examples are just a few of the ways that you can suffer injury while working with industrial equipment:

  • Crush Injuries between moving machine parts that damage nerves, bones, soft tissue and muscles.
  • Machine jams or the equipment turning on or off rapidly leading to burns, tissue damages, broken bones and other damage.
  • Maintenance injuries that occur when an employee is performing repairs, cleaning the equipment or replacing parts.
  • Moving parts that catch on a worker’s clothing or body and causing scalping, choking, hanging, burning or other serious and deadly injuries.
  • Removal of safety guards by employers that expose employees to inner workings, gears and moving parts of machines.
  • Removal or improper maintenance of interlock devices that are supposed to shut down machines when a problem is encountered by an operator.
