Injury Claims for Defective Machinery & Equipment

Representing Victims of Defective Machinery & Equipment in Jacksonville, FL

Like most construction or industrial tools, a bulldozer, power saw and drill press allow workers to accomplish tasks impossible with bare hands. That multiplication of force, when misdirected by a defective machine or poorly designed tool, can be extremely dangerous. The manufacturer or distributor of defective machinery or an unsafe tool is responsible for any injury or wrongful death resulting from use of the product.

Our legal teams are well informed about the regulations and standards that are expected and required for industrial machines and tools. We work with OSHA and others to keep up the pressure for safe workplaces. When a defective machine or tool injures a worker, we are there to hold the manufacturer accountable for the injuries.

When we investigate an accident involving defective machines, we look at the whole design/manufacturing chain to determine how and when the defect occurred and who was responsible. When a crane collapses or a nail gun malfunctions, we want to know why. We identify the product, get an exemplar copy and engage experts to review the design drawing, the manufacturing specs, and the manufacturing process and have it reviewed by experts, so we know what happened and why.

At Coker Law, our attorneys work closely with scientific experts and accident reconstructionists to determine exactly what caused our clients' injuries. If the problem was a defective machine, our lawyers help clients recover maximum compensation for their losses through product liability claims.
