. Sometimes, construction companies, contractors, and equipment manufacturers fail to take the proper measures needed to reduce the risk of construction accidents. Accidents involving machinery vary widely, causing broken and crushed bones, cuts, scrapes, amputations, paralysis, traumatic brain injury, disfigurement, and even death. Construction equipment or machinery failure falls into two broad categories: (1) Where the machine or equipment itself was not properly designed or manufactured, or lacked proper warnings, thus making it unsafe, the injured construction worker may have a “products liability” or a “defective products” case. In those cases, the manufacturer and seller of the equipment or machinery must be sued. (2) Where the construction equipment or machinery caused injury because of the way it was MAINTAINED or USED, this is more likely a labor law case, and a contractor, or construction site owner, or both, must be sued.
