Injuries From Heavy Equipment And Machinery Accidents

On construction sites and other job sites across New York City, heavy machinery is used daily to get the jobs done. These pieces of machinery can often weigh several hundred or even thousands of pounds and are extremely dangerous when not utilized effectively.

Additionally, improperly secured or functionally defective machinery can threaten workers who rely on that machinery for their livelihoods. If you or a family member has been injured in a heavy machinery accident, turn to the experienced attorneys at Arye, Lustig & Sassower, P.C. As a highly regarded and established firm in New York City, our lawyers are dedicated advocates for injured workers.

Since our firm was established in 1965, we have helped hundreds of construction workers recover six- and seven-figure compensation for severe injuries.

Crush Injuries

In some of the worst cases involving heavy machinery, a piece of heavy machinery is dropped on or falls onto a worker. This is a hazardous situation, as the mechanisms needed to lift the machinery must be utilized immediately to prevent further injuries or death.

The crush injuries that result may prevent a worker from ever returning to work, living life as they did before, or even having use of a limb or body part. Some crush injuries are so severe that the bones cannot effectively be pieced back together, and doctors may recommend amputating the body part.

Wrongful Death

Unfortunately, many accidents involving heavy machinery result in the victim's death. They may be killed instantly or perish later due to fatal injuries. Regardless of when the death occurred, surviving family members can seek justice.

We are committed to compassionately helping clients understand their rights and aggressively pursue a resolution to the wrongful death lawsuit that was filed on behalf of the grieving family.
