If you or a loved one has suffered serious injuries in the workplace because of a defective piece of equipment, you have the right to take action and seek compensation. At Kammholz Messina, LLP, our attorneys handle cases involving defective industrial machinery such as:

We bring our core values of integrity, creativity, personal service and excellence to all defective industrial product cases. We are willing to take on large manufacturers in order to get you the compensation you need.
Discovering the Defect
Defects are not always obvious. Our lawyers, with the help of experts, must carefully review all industrial accident cases before we know the direction in which to take the case. For example, a punch press with a missing guard may seem like an obvious manufacturer defect. However, if the press came with a guard and that guard was removed by someone else in the workplace, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible. There still may be action that can be taken, but it may not be a product liability case. Furthermore, cases that may not seem like defect cases actually are. If a dangerous product did not come with appropriate warnings from the manufacturer, the manufacturer could be held accountable.
Beyond Workers' Compensation
Since these are workplace accident cases, many people believe that workers' compensation is their only recourse. When the accident was caused by a defective industrial product, that is not the case. We are able to file a personal injury claim against the manufacturer. This is beneficial, because it may provide substantially more compensation than work comp would.
