Who Is Responsible for Saw and Cutting Accidents?
When cutting or sawing accident happens on the job, employers often blame injured workers for not being careful. In many cases, however, the fault lies with supervisors who push speed and expediency ahead of worker safety. Here are examples of employer negligence:
- Removing guards or safety devices from saws
- Failure to train workers in the safe operation of saws
- Improperly maintained equipment
In other cases, the accident may be caused by design or manufacturing defects in the saw or failure by the manufacturer to provide adequate warnings. Our lawyers will conduct a prompt investigation to determine the cause of the accident and hold all negligent parties accountable.
If you are injured on the job, workers’ compensation is designed to pay benefits regardless of who was at fault. However, workers’ compensation benefits are limited and will not compensate you for your pain and suffering. If someone else is responsible for your loss, we can seek additional compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party. Our law firm has recovered more than $100 million for our clients. We represent injured people throughout the New York City area, including undocumented workers.
