Machinery Accident Claims Made Simple
Working with machines is part of many jobs. But machines are not always safe. If a machine hurts you, it’s more than just pain. You may lose time at work, face medical bills, and worry about your family’s future. That’s why machinery accident claims exist—to help you get support and money when things go wrong.
At Claims 24 Hours, we make this process clear, fair, and stress-free.
Types of Machinery Accidents
Machinery accidents can happen in many ways. Some common examples include:
- Crush injuries: Hands, arms, or legs trapped in moving machines.
- Cuts and amputations: Blades, drills, and saws can cause serious harm.
- Burns and shocks: Hot machines or faulty wiring can burn or electrocute workers.
- Falling objects: Parts or materials falling from machines can hit and injure.
- Explosions or fires: Unsafe machines may spark fires or blow up.
These accidents are often life-changing, but claiming compensation can ease the pressure.
Common Causes of Machinery Accidents
Most of the time, machinery accidents are preventable. Here’s why they happen:
- Machines not properly maintained or serviced
- Safety guards missing or broken
- Lack of staff training
- Poor supervision or unsafe work environment
- Using old or faulty machinery
If your employer didn’t keep you safe, you have the right to take action.
Who Can Make Machinery Accident Claims?
You may claim if:
- You were operating the machine and it hurt you.
- You were fixing, cleaning, or checking the machine when it caused an injury.
- You were nearby and injured by a machine accident.
- You are a contractor or temporary worker hurt by unsafe equipment.
Even if you think you were partly at fault, you might still be able to claim compensation.
Compensation for Machinery Accident Claims
The amount of money you get depends on your injury and how it affects your life. Your claim may cover:
- General damages: Pain, suffering, and impact on daily life.
- Special damages: Lost earnings, hospital bills, transport, or extra care.
- Future losses: If you can’t return to the same job or need long-term help.
We fight to make sure you don’t just get the minimum—you get what’s fair.
