Warehouse Accidents
Manufacturing Accident AttorneysA manufacturing accident can occur in any of a number of ways. An assembly line may lack proper guardrails or safety devices. A machine may malfunction because it was improperly designed or maintained. Negligent or careless warehousing procedures may result in a forklift accident or cause inventory to fall off a shelf and cause a serious injury. Factory and warehouse workers who have been injured in accidents such as these are entitled to compensation for their financial losses and pain and suffering — in addition to workers compensation benefits. If you or a loved one have suffered serious injuries in a manufacturing plant or warehouse, Edelstein Martin & Nelson may be able to obtain this additional compensation for you. Our accident injury lawyers are willing and able to help clients who have suffered injuries as a result of poisoning or chemical exposure while on the job. Often, workers are required to handle toxic chemicals during the manufacturing process or while maintaining or cleaning products. Additional exposure may occur if chemicals are mislabeled by the manufacturer or a machine fails, releasing toxic gases or chemicals into the air, which may produce chemical reactions, explosions, or other hazardous conditions. Steel mills pose particularly dangerous work environments. Improperly designed or constructed guard rails, trip protectors, protective bars, guards, gates or grates may fail to protect people from falling into caldrons of molten steel (or other liquid or chemical agents) causing serious injury or death to mill workers.

An attorney at our firm can inform you of your rights, how much compensation you deserve, and what it will take to get results for you. Identifying the True Source of LiabilityA manufacturing accident may be caused by negligence on the part of management. But, quite frequently, a third party unrelated to the employer causes the accident. For example, an independent service company may fail to maintain a machine properly or a careless delivery truck driver may crush a warehouse worker at the loading dock. In these and other third party claims, it is important to identify the true source of liability in order to develop a strong case and maximize compensation for the manufacturing accident victim. At Edelstein Martin & Nelson, our lawyers have extensive experience helping Pennsylvania warehouse and manufacturing accident victims obtain compensation for their injuries. We understand the manufacturing environment and how to get to the bottom of these cases. We will document the series of events that led to the accident, in order to build the strongest case possible. Often the employer is just as interested in getting answers as to how the accident occurred and who is to blame. We frequently work with manufacturers to identify third-party negligence claims.
