Representing Factory And Warehouse Workers Injured In New Jersey

Our lawyers handle a wide variety of workers’ compensation claims for injured manufacturing workers, including those involving:

• Forklift injuries: Forklifts are crucial in warehouses but can lead to overturns, falls or collisions if not used or maintained properly
• Falling objects: High shelves and poor stacking can lead to falling items, risking head injuries and fractures
• Improperly stacked pallets: Bad stacking of pallets can cause them to collapse, leading to injuries
• Mishandling of merchandise: Lifting heavy items incorrectly or using the wrong equipment can cause back injuries and strains
• Lifting injuries: Repeated lifting without proper techniques can cause long-term pain and issues

Many of these injuries happen due to negligence or lack of proper safety at the workplace. Our attorneys will take a close look at your case, assist you in collecting evidence and identify who may be responsible.

Advocating For Those Injured In Machinery Accidents

Machinery accidents are a prevalent issue in manufacturing and industrial settings. Common types of industrial machinery involved in these accidents include:

• Punch presses: Used for cutting and shaping materials, punch presses can cause injuries like amputations if safety measures are not followed
• Conveyor belts: These systems can lead to entrapment or crush injuries if proper safeguards are not in place
• Welding torches: These tools pose risks of burns and eye injuries if used without adequate protective gear
• Industrial saws: These powerful tools can result in severe lacerations or amputations if not properly operated or guarded
• Hydraulic presses: The immense pressure used in these machines can cause crush injuries if safety protocols are ignored

Accidents in factories and warehouses can occur even when the machines are not faulty. In many cases, the machinery accident is because the workers did not receive proper training, there is a lack of safety gear or the equipment had poor maintenance. Regardless of the cause, you can still claim workers’ compensation.

Protecting Your Rights After Industrial Chemical Exposure

In manufacturing and industrial settings, employees often work with various chemicals. Coming into contact with these substances can lead to immediate health concerns, such as breathing difficulties and skin irritations. In more serious cases, long-term exposure might lead to conditions such as cancer. Our firm is committed to advocating for workers who have suffered from injuries and illnesses due to:

• Improper handling or storage of chemicals 
• Inadequate protective equipment and gear 
• Failure to implement safety protocols 

If you are experiencing health concerns due to industrial chemical exposure in the workplace, we can help you fight for the compensation and medical care you need.

Negligence In The Workplace

Many accidents in industrial plants, manufacturing plants and warehouses are entirely preventable when proper precautions are taken. Unfortunately, in order to cut costs, some employers eliminate or disable safety equipment in order to increase production. This leaves workers vulnerable to catastrophic injuries such as severed limbs, severe burns and crush injuries.
