Machinery Injuries in Workers’ Compensation 

NOTE: Workers’ Compensation is a complicated area of the law with many nuances and subcategories for specific injuries. The section below is to serve as a general guide to Machinery Injuries in Workers’ Compensation and how we at Lenahan & Dempsey protect the rights of workers. Please contact us at 1.888.536.2328 for specific answers to questions as they relate to your specific Workers’ Compensation Case.

Unfortunately, injuries caused by Machinery are a common occurrence across the many factories and manufacturing facilities in Northeastern, Central Pennsylvania and the Pocono Mountains. These accidents can lead to disfiguring, traumatic amputations, and many more life-changing -- and even fatal -- injuries.

Employer Responsibilities In Machinery Injury Cases

All too frequently, workers get injured in the line of duty by the machinery they operate for their employers. Although injured workers cannot sue their employers, often a machine may malfunction which means that the injured worker is not only entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits, but also may have a third-party lawsuit against the machine’s manufacturer.

At Lenahan & Dempsey, we protect the Workers’ Compensation rights of injured workers, while also fully investigating the possibility of a product defect case that may be pursued.

Pennsylvania Is A “No Fault” Workers’ Compensation State

Did you know that Pennsylvania operates under a “No Fault” system for those injured at work?
This "no-fault" system means that as an injured worker you can receive benefits even if your own actions contributed to the accident.

However, employers or their insurance companies often do not tell you about all the benefits you have a legal right to receive, or they often try to force you back to work before you are ready.

That doesn't happen to Lenahan & Dempsey clients.

The moment you authorize us to protect your rights, the harassing phone calls, the pressure to return to work from your employer and more will no longer be a burden you must suffer. We handle all those details so you can concentrate on recovering and getting your life back after a serious work or work-at-home injury.
