What’s the problem?
Bulldozers are used on construction sites to remove or spread dirt and rock, dig out trees, and level the ground. Accidents involving bulldozers are extremely dangerous and unforgiving because of the size and weight of the machine. Injuries that result from bulldozer accidents include (but are not limited to):
- head injury
- blunt force trauma
- crush injury
- broken bones
Other common bulldozer accidents include injuries caused by the operator falling off the bulldozer or colliding with another object. Besides these, injuries caused by being run over or being close to the moving parts of the bulldozer have been commonly reported. The serious injuries caused by bulldozer accidents are usually Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), amputation of a limb or limbs, crush injuries, and spinal cord injuries. Fatalities are also possible.
A bulldozer is an exceedingly powerful, massive machine. A person who has been injured in a bulldozer accident may be able to recover financial compensation for his or her physical injuries, as well as for emotional trauma. A family who has lost a loved one in a dozer accident may also be able to file a claim to receive compensation for medical bills, funeral costs, and possibly more.
