Sacramento Heavy Equipment Accident Lawyers
Cranes, forklifts and other heavy equipment are useful tools for the completion of work projects, but they are also a frequent cause of accident injuries. When heavy equipment is operated in a negligent manner, or when it is defective or improperly maintained, it can cause serious or fatal injuries to workers. Common causes of heavy equipment accidents include:
- Operator error
- Improper training of an operator
- Improper loading
- Failure to maintain or inspect heavy equipment
- Dangerous work sites

What You Should Know
If you were injured on the job, you may have been advised by a friend, family member or co-worker that workers' compensation is your only available means of recovery. Depending on the facts of your case, the information you received may not be accurate.
If you were injured by a third party (someone other than your employer or a co-worker), you may be entitled to pursue compensation through a third-party liability claim, which is a type of personal injury claim. If you were injured by a dangerous or defective product, you may be able to pursue compensation through a product liability claim.
