Product Injuries in the Workplace

Were you injured by work equipment while on the job? If so, you may have many workers’ compensation questions that we can help answer. Perhaps you want to know if you can file a claim against your employer. You may wonder if the manufacturer of the machine or tool can be held responsible for your injuries.

At Edgar Snyder & Associates, we know how confusing the Pennsylvania workers’ compensation legal process can be. That’s why we’ve helped over 7,000 injured workers get money to make up for missed income and pay their medical bills.

When you hire our law firm, we protect your legal rights and fight to get you the full amount of compensation you’re entitled to receive for your workplace injury. If you were hurt on the job by a product, machine, or work equipment, you may have a product case.

Workers’ Compensation and Product Injury Cases

Typically, if you’re injured on the job, you would notify your supervisor of the injury, who would file an accident report. You would work with the insurance company, see their “panel” of doctors for at least the first 90 days, and receive compensation from the insurance company in the form of workers’ compensation payments.

In Pennsylvania, you can’t sue your employer for a work injury – even if you believe the employer was negligent in some way to cause the accident. However, if a defective product led to your injury, you can puruse a product injury case in addition to a workers’ compensation claim.

You may receive additional compensation for your work injury if the manufacturer, supplier, distributor, or retailer of the product:

• Failed to adequately test or inspect the product before sending it to market
• Created the defect in the product
• Failed to discover the defect in the product
• Failed to discover that the product could be defective or dangerous
• Failed to adequately warn of the risk associated with the product
• Failed to manufacture the product correctly
• Failed to install the product correctly

Get the Maximum Amount of Compensation

If you were injured using machinery, tools, or another type of product while on the job, your situation is much more complicated. You may be entitled to workers’ compensation and have a product injuries case – but how can you make sure you receive the full amount of money you deserve?

You need a lawyer who understands both Pennsylvania workers’ compensation cases and defective product lawsuits. At Edgar Snyder & Associates, we have decades of experience handling both.

Here are a few examples of cases we’ve handled in the past:

• $9 million – Our client was working when he fell from an overhead conveyor and suffered multiple injuries and was paralyzed.
• $700,000 – Our client was involved in a work-related construction-site accident in which a contractor’s air compressor exploded. He suffered shrapnel wounds, including extensive tissue and muscle loss in his thigh and buttocks.
• $680,000 – Our client, a painter, fell from a defective ladder rung. He suffered multiple brain and internal injuries.
• $450,000 – Our client was on the job, erecting a pole on a building. A crane on the construction site tipped, causing the extended boom to strike and pin him onto the roof. He suffered bowel lacerations and other internal injuries, in addition to scarring and back pain.
