Our workplaces should be environments where we can perform our duties safely and securely, but unfortunately, accidents happen. From slips and falls to equipment malfunctions, these incidents can lead to injuries, disabilities, and even fatalities, leaving individuals and families facing a difficult path to recovery.

Client’s case

A factory worker was burned when the textile machine he was using malfunctioned. We sued the manufacturer claiming that the machine was improperly designed, creating a foreseeable risk of serious injury. The defendant argued that our client caused his own injury by operating the machine in an unsafe manner but we overcame this defense through our investigation and extensive pre-trial proceedings. The case settled before trial at mediation.
