West Virginia Lawyer Handling Natural Gas Drilling Injury Cases
If You Were Injured While Operating Heavy Industrial Equipment, Call a Morgantown Personal Injury Lawyer
Operators of heavy construction and industrial equipment face some of the most dangerous work conditions in America. When a piece of equipment fails, bringing a machine that can weigh multiple tons or more to an emergency stop is often impossible. Operators behind the wheel or working near the equipment are at the mercy of unstoppable mass and energy.
Coal miners, oil and gas drillers, logging and timbering workers, and construction personnel constantly work on and around heavy equipment and machinery that can cause fatal accidents and injuries. The machinery must work as it should. Equipment failures due to faulty design, poor maintenance, dangerous retrofitting, lack of training, and negligent oversight and operation have caused workers serious harm, such as burns, electrocution, crushing, and amputations.

Agricultural Equipment Injuries
Every year, thousands of farmers and agriculture workers are injured while operating farm equipment that is supposed to be designed for safe use under proper conditions. Statistically, a farm is among the most dangerous workplaces in America. The combined tractors and other farm equipment are large and unwieldy. Often, inexperienced operators need proper instructions or safety warnings. If you have been injured while using a piece of heavy farm equipment, the manufacturer may be held liable for defects that caused the accident. Talk to one of our injury attorneys about the circumstances of your injury.
