Working with industrial equipment, no matter how many safety precautions are taken, can be unavoidably dangerous. Every day workers are injured, often severely, by equipment that malfunctions, is used incorrectly, is defective, or is used under unsafe conditions. Most often, when a jobsite accident involving manufacturing equipment or heavy industrial equipment occurs, workers' compensation laws cover any workplace injury that results. Our firm works with a network of lawyers who specialize in workers’ compensation claims. We do not pursue those claims but instead pursue a product liability or third-party liability claim that will let us get the full compensation for the injured worker and their family that workers’ compensation alone will not provide. Every attorney at the Atlanta, Georgia, law firm of Warshauer Poe & Thornton, P.C. has extensive knowledge of the law surrounding workplace injury claims and will help you to attain the full compensation you may rightfully receive from the third parties who were negligent. If you have been injured in an accident involving manufacturing equipment or heavy industrial equipment, contact us today to protect your rights and obtain the compensation you are due.
Heavy industrial equipment is used in a wide range of work environments and in a variety of applications. In addition to manufacturing equipment, manufacturing plants typically have various types of heavy industrial equipment used in creating, loading, and shipping products. When a machine is defective or misused, workers can easily suffer a catastrophic personal injury.
Construction site accidents involving construction tools and industrial machinery such as bulldozers, backhoes, power tools, and other equipment can cause workers to suffer especially severe injuries, including life-changing brain and spinal cord injuries that almost invariably lead to long-term medical and rehabilitative expenses.
We are proud that every workplace injury attorney at our Atlanta, Georgia, law firm has thorough knowledge of and experience with FELA regulations and railroad accidents.

Workers' compensation laws covering the work place limit the liability of an employer in providing compensation to an injured worker. An employee who is injured while at work receives workers' compensation benefits regardless of who was at fault. Benefits can include compensation for lost wages, coverage of medical costs, and a settlement if an injury is permanent. The trade-off is that the employee is limited in the legal action he or she can take against the employer to obtain compensation above the amount that workers' compensation insurance provides.
Our firm works with a network of lawyers who specialize in workers’ compensation claims. We do not pursue those claims but instead pursue a product liability or third party liability claim that will let us get the full compensation for the injured worker and their family that workers’ compensation alone does not provide. However, full legal action can usually be taken against a third-party defendant, such as the maker of the industrial equipment, if it can be shown that negligence by the defendant caused or contributed to the accident that caused the injury. Third party defendants typically are not protected from litigation under workers' compensation laws.
Workers' compensation and third-party cases are often very complex and require a knowledgeable and skilled attorney to achieve a successful outcome. If you have been injured due to malfunctioning, defective, or misused industrial equipment, and you feel that you have been denied workers' compensation benefits you should rightfully receive, a workplace injury attorney from Warshauer Poe & Thornton, P.C., can help you cut through red tape and bureaucratic stalling. Our skilled attorneys can get you to a skilled workers’ compensation attorney and also identify potential third-party negligence and help you obtain complete and full compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
If you have been injured in a workplace accident involving industrial equipment, you cannot assume that you are being treated fairly by an employer that likely is more focused on limiting the company's liability for your injury than providing you with all the benefits to which you are entitled. Even if you are now receiving workers' compensation benefits for a workplace injury, an attorney from our Atlanta, Georgia, law firm may be able to help obtain additional damages. Our attorney can also investigate third-party negligence and take swift action to help you obtain the full compensation you deserve.
