Experienced Defective Workplace Equipment Lawyer in Georgia

Quality Representation From an Atlanta Dangerous Tools Injury Attorney

If you have been injured by defective workplace equipment, you may be able to file an independent lawsuit in addition to a workers' compensation claim, depending on the circumstances of your specific case. Generally speaking, you may have the right to file a private lawsuit if someone other than your employer or another employee was partly to blame for the accident.

Accidents caused by defective workplace equipment are a prime example of this type of injury lawsuit. If a piece of workplace equipment — like a forklift, saw, metal grinder or crane — malfunctions and causes serious injury or death, the responsibility may lie with the company that designed and manufactured the product.

In such a case, the injury victim still has the right to claim workers' compensation for lost wages and some medical expenses. However, an independent product liability lawsuit may allow the accident victim to recover additional funds for compensable damages like pain and suffering, which is not compensable under the workers' compensation system.
