Injured by Faulty Equipment at Work? Our Workplace Injury Attorneys Will Help You Get Justice
Workplace equipment injuries are among the most devastating and preventable accidents on the job. Whether caused by malfunctioning machinery, missing safety features, or employer negligence, these incidents often result in serious harm—sometimes permanent.
At The Paul Powell Law Firm, our skilled team of workplace injury attorneys represents injured workers across Las Vegas who’ve suffered due to unsafe equipment and workplace conditions.
Our legal team understands the toll these injuries take—not just physically, but emotionally and financially. We fight to hold employers, manufacturers, and third parties accountable, and we pursue every dollar you’re owed under Nevada law.
Common Equipment-Related Injuries We Handle
These injuries often require long-term medical care and rehabilitation and may result in permanent disability. We work with medical experts to document the full extent of your injuries and future needs, so you can be compensated by the responsible parties who were at fault for your equipment-related injury.
Faulty equipment can cause a wide range of injuries, including:
- Crushed limbs from malfunctioning presses or forklifts
- Severe burns from electrical or chemical equipment
- Deep lacerations from unguarded blades or tools
- Amputations due to lack of emergency shut-off systems
- Head trauma from falling machinery or unsecured loads
- Spinal injuries from vibration tools or heavy lifting equipment
Who May Be Liable for Your Injury?
Depending on the circumstances, multiple parties may be responsible:
- Your employer for failing to maintain safe equipment or provide proper training
- A subcontractor for creating unsafe conditions on a shared job site
- The equipment manufacturer for producing defective machinery
- Maintenance providers for failing to inspect or repair equipment properly
Our workplace injury attorneys investigate every angle to identify all liable parties and maximize your compensation.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Our workplace injury attorneys pursue full and fair compensation for:
Emergency medical care and hospitalization
Surgeries, physical therapy, and long-term treatment
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain and suffering, emotional distress
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence
We also help you navigate workers’ compensation claims and determine if a personal injury lawsuit is appropriate.
Nevada Workplace Injury Laws: Key Points
Statute of Limitations: You have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim.
Workers’ Compensation: You may be eligible for benefits regardless of fault, but they may not cover all damages.
Third-Party Claims: If someone other than your employer contributed to the injury, you may file a separate lawsuit.
We ensure every deadline is met and every legal option is explored.
What to Do After an Equipment Injury
If you’ve been injured by workplace equipment, take these steps immediately:
- Seek medical attention and follow all treatment recommendations
- Report the injury to your employer and document the incident
- Photograph the equipment and surrounding area if possible
- Avoid signing documents or accepting settlements without legal advice
- Contact our workplace injury attorney team for a free consultation and case evaluation
Prompt action helps preserve critical evidence and strengthens your claim. Waiting too long can make it harder to prove negligence or secure fair compensation.
