Equipment Accident Attorneys

Equipment Accident Lawyers

Maritime workers rely upon the equipment they use to work properly and to be free from defects. Offshore equipment, including heavy machinery, as well as cables and rigging, must be properly maintained and free from manufacturing or design defects to ensure it functions properly.  Negligence on the part of a vessel owner and/or offshore employer may cause equipment failure that results in serious injury or even wrongful death.  The accidents caused by equipment failure can be catastrophic. A maritime worker may be pinned under a heavy load, lose a hand or foot that becomes caught in a machine’s moving parts, or suffer from electrical injuries, severe burns, or electrocution when equipment malfunctions.
