If you sustain an injury at work due to faulty equipment, we recommend setting up a consultation with one of our attorneys. One of the difficult aspects of a workers’ compensation case involving faulty equipment is determining liability. Generally, employers are responsible for the upkeep of their equipment. However, if a third-party maintenance company failed to replace a faulty part, they may be liable instead. The only way to know for sure if you have a case is to discuss the incident with an attorney.

Negligence may involve unsafe working conditions, inadequate training, faulty equipment, or failure to follow safety protocols. Documenting your work environment, taking photos, and gathering witness statements can strengthen your case. Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP conducts thorough investigations, gathers evidence, and consults experts to build a strong case on your behalf.

Permanent injuries may entitle you to additional compensation for long-term effects, such as reduced earning capacity, ongoing medical care, and lifestyle adjustments. Non-subscriber claims allow injured workers to pursue full recovery for permanent disability. Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP works with medical and vocational experts to assess long-term impacts and maximize damages.
