Representing Mechanic Injured at Mining Job

Attorneys Jason Itkin, Trent Shelton, and Wes Hook filed a case in Cuyahoga County, Ohio on behalf of an injured mechanic.

This heavy equipment mechanic was doing work for a mining site when the brakes on a dump truck failed. Our client was thrown from the truck and suffered a broken rib, back injury, and internal bleeding. These grave injuries could have been prevented by the companies involved doing their jobs. The condition of a vehicle’s brakes is something that employers need to monitor and address as needed. That’s basic maintenance.

Because companies failed to take basic steps to keep the worksite free of known and knowable hazards, our client is recovering from debilitating injuries that leave a trail of costly medical bills and a painful road to recovery. This emotional trauma, physical suffering, and economic loss should never have happened.

Our work injury lawyers at Arnold & Itkin look forward to seeking justice for our client against these negligent companies, who failed to perform simple maintenance on their equipment.
