If you’ve been hurt at work and think, “This was my fault,” stop there.
You’re not alone. Many injured workers blame themselves. But what feels like a personal mistake often turns out to be the result of dangerous equipment, poor workplace safety protocols, or negligent manufacturers.
Before dismissing your case, take a moment to hear what attorney Chad Trammell says.
“I Thought It Was My Fault—But It Wasn’t.”
“People come in and say, ‘I’m the dummy who let this happen,'” says Chad. “But then we take a closer look. And what we often find is that they were following the same steps everyone else at the job was doing for years.”
Take this common scenario:
A long-time employee sees something stuck in a machine. They switch it off, reach in to clear the jam, and suddenly, the machine turns back on and causes a catastrophic injury. Maybe it crushes their hand or takes their arm. And what’s the first thing they say? “I shouldn’t have reached in. That was my fault.”
But here’s what we investigate:
- Was there a guard on that machine to prevent access?
- Should it have had an automatic shutoff or safety sensor?
- Did the manufacturer know about this hazard and sell the machine anyway?
“If that’s how it’s always done in the plant, and no one told you different, how is that your fault?” Chad asks.
The Truth: You May Have a Third-Party Injury Claim
Many workplace injuries involve more than just your employer. If a faulty machine, a dangerous product, or an outside contractor is involved, you may have a third-party claim, which can lead to much higher compensation than standard workers’ comp.
These are cases we handle every day at Trammell Piazza. We dig deep to uncover the real cause of your injury and hold the right parties accountable. And we do it all at no upfront cost to you.
