TK Law represents workers injured in heavy equipment accidents throughout the Orlando area. If you were seriously injured or a loved one died in a heavy machinery accident caused by a negligent contractor, by OSHA safety violations, or by defective equipment, contact TK Law in Orlando for immediate legal help.
Heavy machinery injuries occur in alarming numbers throughout the state of Florida. Large vehicles include excavators, cranes, graders, forklifts, cherry pickers, bulldozers, backhoes, front end loaders, booms, dump trucks, tractors, trailers and compactors. Despite extensive training requirements and safety measures in place, working with such massive and powerful equipment is inherently hazardous.
Whether accidents are caused by equipment failure, poor training or errors on the part of the operator, the resulting injuries can leave workers with steep medical bills and lost time from work. When the unthinkable occurs, such as long term disability or fatal injury, workers and their families need zealous, skilled attorneys who are experienced in handling construction and industrial accidents.

Third-Party Liability Claims and Workers’ Compensation
If you are injured on the job, you are entitled to workers compensation benefits. In addition, our personal injury attorneys will carefully investigate every aspect of your heavy equipment accident to determine if a third party was responsible for your injury.
If there is a possibility the equipment is defective, a TK Law attorney will investigate whether the injury or fatality calls for the equipment’s manufacturer to be held liable. Depending on the situation, you may be entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit against the equipment manufacturer, contractor or operator.
Recovery can include compensation for lost wages, continuing medical care or therapy, and pain and suffering. We will also guide you through a Social Security Disability claim process if that is a viable option for you.
Potential Heavy Equipment Injuries
Heavy equipment used on farms, construction sites, manufacturing plants, and excavation and mining sites put workers at risk every day. TK Law handles cases involving life-altering injuries due to:
- Concussions
- Head and facial injury
- Traumatic brain injury
- Dislocated joints
- Burn injuries
- Internal injuries
- Back and spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Lacerations
- Loss of limbs
- Loss of senses, such as hearing
- Paralysis
- Wrongful death
It is essential that you get prompt medical attention for your personal injuries. This may seem obvious; yet serious injuries suffered from an encounter with heavy equipment may not always manifest immediately following an accident. Victims of traumatic accidents do not always realize how badly they are injured; yet days and even weeks later, they end up in the emergency room in extreme pain.
