Defective Equipment Injuries

Work Injury Attorneys in Philadelphia, PA

Workers who operate and work in close proximity to industrial equipment and machinery are at risk of serious injury or even death if it malfunctions in any way. Defects in the design or manufacturing process of a piece of equipment can make it inherently dangerous to use, even if workers are properly trained and safety protocol is followed to the letter. When defective equipment causes harm, the manufacturer or other party responsible for the defect should be held accountable.

Marciano & MacAvoy, P.C. handles complex product liability lawsuits against manufacturers of industrial, agricultural, manufacturing, construction, and other equipment across Pennsylvania. These cases can be challenging, as identifying and exposing a defect may require technical knowledge of the piece of equipment itself and the way it should have been designed or manufactured. Fortunately, our Philadelphia work injury lawyers have access to experts in these fields. We have the resources to investigate and build compelling cases for victims of defective equipment at the workplace.

Types of Equipment Defects

Why did the equipment malfunction or break down? This is one of the most important questions to answer in a workplace injury claim involving defective equipment. By carefully investigating the accident itself and also the maintenance record of the piece of equipment, not to mention any history of previous accidents with that equipment, the underlying cause can be determined. The equipment may need to be closely monitored or disassembled completely. We will do whatever it takes to find the answers you’re looking for.

The following are examples of situations that could cause equipment accidents and injuries:

A defective design that renders a piece of equipment inherently and excessively dangerous
A manufacturing defect that causes the equipment to malfunction even when it is used properly
Improper instructions for use or a lack of warning labels
Improper or inadequate maintenance and repairs
Operation of equipment by untrained or inexperienced personnel
Operating equipment while under the influence of alcohol or drugs

When equipment defects cause serious personal injuries or the wrongful deaths of workers, our Philadelphia work injury attorneys are here to set things right. We will identify at-fault parties and pursue the full compensation you deserve to start to put your life back on track.

"I have had the privilege of connecting with Kevin Marciano on many matters as an attorney. Additionally, I have referred his firm multiple people who were in need of his services. He has obtained great results for these referred individuals and through the entire process has been very accessible and calming."

"They are experts at what they do and will go to battle for their clients if that's what it takes to get the best outcome. If someone in my family was injured, this is the first place I would turn."

"I would highly recommend anyone within this practice. They are knowledgeable, respectful, and helpful."

"After been paralyzed from the neck down because of a drunk driver, Kevin Marciano was my last hope. Kevin fought very hard for me and kept me advised of every aspect of the case. Because of the settlement, I am living in a home that I purchased rather than in a nursing home. I have some of my life back."

"Kevin and Pat represented me in my fall off a ladder. The money I received will let me live in a place where I can move and get around. Also, while I am still badly injured, I know I will not have to worry about money again."

Kevin and Patrick were amazing to work with and a God send to us in our time of need. They especially had to work even harder during COVID-19 to make a safe way to put our troubles to a smooth and safe finish. They were caring and understanding to our personal situation in the health and well being of our son who was hit by a car. This recommendation was priceless. We are most fortunate that our son's life was spared, but their help to give him back his life will never be forgotten! Thank you Kevin and Patrick and the rest of your team!
