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.

Our Case Results

Crushed Leg Injury

Imagine having your leg crushed so badly in an accident that you have to undergo two surgeries to insert multiple pins and have a rod hammered into the bone just to stabilize the femur. Unfortunately, the first rod inserted into the bone didn’t accomplish the desired effect, so the rod had to be removed and surgically reinserted. Imagine the great pain, the months of therapy and recovery, and the frustration of knowing you can never return to the type of work you have performed for decades.

Jeff Robinette was able to obtain a great enough settlement to pay this man’s medical bills in their entirety and money enough to start a new business so he could work and live a productive life even with his permanent impairment.

Crushed Foot Injury

While working in Morgantown, WV for a large national retailer, our client, a young woman in her early twenties, was ordered to use equipment that she was not properly trained to use. In the course of attempting to complete her task, she sustained a severe crush injury to her foot. Due to this incident, our client lost full use of this foot for the rest of her life and was living with chronic, persistent pain.

Our firm was able to obtain a sizable settlement which took care of all her medical bills and future treatment for her foot injury. The settlement was ample enough to allow this young woman to go back to college and retrain for employment which will accommodate her permanent disability.

Brain Injury

While timbering in WV, a heavy equipment operator sustained a permanent brain injury while performing the duties of his job. What price can you put on the loss of a fully functioning, fully reasoning brain? Jeff Robinette was able to negotiate a settlement that was annuitized to provide for this man for the rest of his life.
