How You Can Recover

How you recover compensation after a falling equipment injury can differ depending on your relationship to the company responsible. Employees may have the option of pursuing workers compensation, while those who were just passing by will have to look to more traditional tort claims.

There are a variety of claims that you could use to recover for injuries sustained from falling equipment. These include:

Workers compensation
