Causes Of Heavy Machinery Accidents
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulate worksites to ensure that contractors are free from dangerous hazards or unsafe work conditions. Unfortunately, heavy machinery accidents can still occur, even when carefully following safety protocols.
Heavy machinery accidents can result from the following situations:
- Faulty or improperly repaired equipment
- Improper use of machinery
- Distracted use of machinery
- Pedestrians not following safety protocols
These types of accidents can lead to broken bones, back or neck injury, traumatic brain injury, paralysis, or even death.
Financial Compensation in A Heavy Machinery Accident Case
Suffering a heavy machinery accident case can be expensive. Medical bills can quickly add up and may be ongoing. Additionally, you may lose out on income or employment benefits by taking extended time off work. Depending on the details of the accident, workers’ compensation might cover some of these costs.
However, if your damages exceed the maximum amount available with workers’ compensation, you might have other legal options available. At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, we understand the financial implications of suffering a work-related injury. We also understand the importance of a timely payout and will fight to collect the compensation that you deserve.
We will work to recover the following costs:
- Medical bills (past, present, and future)
- Rehabilitation costs
- Household renovations
- Childcare fees
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Lost work benefits
Pain And Suffering
It might also be possible to collect pain and suffering compensation following your heavy machinery accident. Heavy machinery accidents can leave you with a great amount of physical and emotional pain. While compensation may not eliminate that pain, it can make it easier to manage.
The amount of compensation that you receive will depend on the details of your case. Discuss your case with a heavy machinery accident lawyer today at the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine at 1-800-747-3733.

Determine Fault
Determining fault may be a necessary step in your case. If workers’ compensation does not appropriately cover your damages or denies your claim, we may be able to collect compensation from the responsible party.
We will gather all important documents and evidence that directs us to the responsible party. Whether the fault lies with another contractor, the employer, or the machinery manufacturer, we will get to the bottom of the cause.
These are just a few of the items we will collect on your behalf to determine negligence in your case:
- Medical records
- Physician statement
- Witness report
- Expert witness statement
- Personal statement
- Photo or video evidence from the accident scene
The details of your accident will determine whether we file a personal injury, workers’ comp, product liability, or wrongful death case.
Assist You in Filing Your Claim
Whether you are submitting a workers’ compensation claim, filing for an appeal, or filing a third-party personal injury case, you will find that there is a lot of legal and other paperwork. You should not have to deal with the applications, supporting documents, or strict filing requirements while you recover. Leave the filing to us while you and your family focus on your health.
Florida also has strict time requirements when filing a heavy machinery case. Failing to stay within this statute of limitations can make you ineligible for compensation. The specific time limits will depend on the details of your case and the type of case that makes the most sense.
For example, we must file a personal injury case within four years from the date of the accident. Florida requires that employees with workers’ compensation must notify their employer within 30 days of the accident. If the heavy machinery accident case includes wrongful death, then we must file within two years from the date of the death.
It is crucial that we stay within these time limits. Schedule your free consultation with a heavy machinery accident lawyer as soon as possible at 1-800-747-3733.
