Representing Diesel Mechanic Catastrophically Injured by Falling Backhoe Bucket

Led by Noah Wexler, our attorneys at Arnold & Itkin are representing a diesel mechanic who suffered catastrophic, life-altering injuries when a backhoe bucket fell and crushed him on the job.

The backhoe had been improperly secured and was defectively designed—two failures that converged to devastating effect. When the bucket came loose, our client had no warning and no chance of getting out of the way. He sustained multiple broken bones and significant head trauma, injuries that have fundamentally changed the course of his life. A man who made his living through skilled, physical work now faces a future defined by the consequences of someone else's negligence.

When equipment is not properly secured and when the machines themselves are defective, the people working closest to them are the ones at greatest risk. The companies responsible for maintaining, securing, and manufacturing this equipment had a duty to make sure it was safe. They failed, and, tragically, a hardworking mechanic paid the price.

Arnold & Itkin's work injury attorneys will fight to hold every party responsible for the failures that led to our client's injuries.
