Crush Injury

Atlanta Attorneys Representing Workplace Accident Victims

Crush injuries occur when substantial pressure is placed on a part of the body. After sustaining crush injuries in an accident on the job, you may find it difficult to work while also facing substantial medical and rehabilitation bills. You may be able to recover benefits through a workers’ compensation claim. It is important to seek legal counsel. Van Sant Law may be able to help you. Our Atlanta crush injury lawyers are dedicated to protecting the safety of our clients, and we can sign up your case electronically without face-to-face interactions. However, we are also happy to visit you at your home if you prefer.

Understanding Crush Injuries: Common Causes, Risks, and Treatment

Crush injuries may involve nerve injuries, infections, bleeding, bruising, fractures, or compartment syndrome. Immediately after the accident, emergency care should be sought. In some cases, a wound at the site of the crush injury becomes infected and requires additional treatment. Surgery may be appropriate. Unfortunately, crush injuries are common in many industries that involve heavy machinery, especially when that machinery is automated.

Third-Party Claims

While workers’ compensation benefits can provide important financial assistance, they are not as extensive as compensation in a personal injury claim. Thus, you may want to pursue a third-party personal injury claim if someone other than your employer or coworker caused your injuries. This may be based on a theory of negligence or strict liability. You can hold another person or entity accountable under a theory of negligence if an Atlanta crush injury attorney can show that it is more likely than not that you were owed a duty of care by the defendant, the defendant departed from the duty of care, the departure caused your crush injuries, and you sustained damages as a result. Strict liability may be an appropriate theory when a worker was injured by a defective product. This involves showing that a product contained a defect that caused your injuries.

A key advantage of pursuing a personal injury claim is recovering non-economic damages, which are not available through workers’ compensation. These may include pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and other intangible harms.
