California Industrial Worker Death Lawyers

Machinery Fatalities · Industrial Machine Death

When a worker or by stander is killed as the result of defectively designed equipment, poorly maintained machinery, general contractor neglect, or negligence in placement and operation, the surviving heirs need representation by wrongful death attorneys who are specialized in the field. The California industrial worker death and machine fatality lawyers at Walkup, Melodia are familiar with the needs of those who are left behind when a machine operator, bystander, or other person is killed. Industrial machinery in factories, at construction sites, or present at building projects have obvious and hidden dangers. Manufacturers, owners, operators and maintainers have a responsibility to protect workers and the public from fatal risks that are not of their making.

Our team of California wrongful death attorneys has represented the surviving heirs of people killed by industrial machinery throughout California and Nevada. Our product liability team has made substantial recoveries by way of settlement and verdict against the makers of different types of machinery. In each case, our team looks for potential defendants beyond the decedent's employer. The circumstances of each case must be individually assessed to determine whether there are remedies above and beyond worker's compensation benefits. If a loved one was killed as the result of a defective machine, tool or implement, call us to find out if your family has a right to bring a wrongful death claim. Poor maintenance, bad design practice, inadequate safety precautions, engineering defects or errors, are all potential avenues of liability against those who may have caused your tragedy.
