Crush Injury Attorneys in Fort Worth, Texas

Crush injuries are among the most severe and life-altering injuries a person can suffer. When a body — or part of a body — is caught between two objects or under heavy equipment, the results can range from broken bones and nerve damage to amputation, organ damage, and death. These accidents are especially common on job sites and around heavy machinery, where a single equipment failure or safety lapse can turn deadly in an instant. At The Haslam Firm, our Fort Worth crush injury attorneys have represented workers and families in serious crush-injury cases — including accidents that took a loved one's life. We know how to investigate what went wrong, identify every party responsible, and build the strong, evidence-backed case these claims demand.

Crush Injury Cases We Handle

Crush injuries frequently involve heavy equipment and lifting machinery, including:

• Forklift rollovers — When a forklift tips or overturns, operators and nearby workers can be pinned or crushed beneath the machine or its load.

• Man-lift crush accidents — Aerial and personnel lifts that fail, tip, or malfunction can cause catastrophic and fatal crush injuries.

• Car-lift crush accidents - Automotive lifts that collapse or give way can trap and crush workers beneath a vehicle.

• Heavy machinery and equipment failures — Defective, poorly maintained, or improperly operated industrial equipment that pins or crushes workers. These are examples of the crush-injury cases we handle, not an exhaustive list. If your injury involved being caught, pinned, or crushed by equipment or machinery, we want to hear about it.

Who Is Responsible for a Crush Injury?

Crush accidents often have more than one liable party. Depending on how the accident happened, responsibility may fall on: - Equipment manufacturers, when a defective design or component caused the failure - Employers or site operators who failed to maintain safe conditions or provide proper training - Maintenance companies that serviced the equipment negligently - Other contractors or third parties whose negligence contributed to the accident Our attorneys work with engineers, accident reconstructionists, and safety experts to determine exactly what failed and who should be held accountable — so you can pursue full compensation for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and, in the most tragic cases, the loss of a loved one.
