Case Filed in Virginia for Worker Injured in Heavy Equipment Operations

Arnold & Itkin attorneys filed suit in Virginia against our client's employer after he sustained serious injuries on the job. The injuries our client suffered trace back to an employer that did not take the basic steps every employer owes its workers: proper training, proper supervision, and safe procedures for the equipment its employees are asked to operate.

Our client's employer failed to provide adequate training for the heavy equipment operations involved in his work. It failed to supervise those operations in a way that would catch problems before workers were hurt. And it failed to put safe operating procedures in place at all. When all three of those failures stack up on a single jobsite, it is only a matter of time before someone is injured.

That is what happened to our client. The injuries he sustained have required medical treatment and have affected his ability to continue making a living. None of it should have happened. A worker who is properly trained, properly supervised, and given clear procedures to follow is a worker who goes home safely.

Our maritime injury attorneys are committed to holding our client's employer responsible for failing to train its workers, failing to supervise its operations, and exposing its employees to the unsafe conditions that caused this injury.
