Injured in a Bulldozer or Excavator Accident? We Can Help

Earth-moving equipment such as bulldozers, excavators, and backhoes play a critical role in construction and demolition projects—but they also pose serious hazards. These massive machines are powerful, heavy, and often operate in high-risk environments. When accidents happen involving bulldozers or excavators, the injuries are frequently catastrophic. If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident involving earth-moving machinery, Scott M. Blumen, Attorney at Law, APC is here to protect your rights and pursue full compensation for your losses.

How Earth-Moving Equipment Accidents Happen

Accidents involving bulldozers and excavators can occur in many different ways. These machines are capable of moving thousands of pounds of dirt, rock, or debris—but when not operated safely, they can cause serious harm to workers and bystanders alike.

Common causes of accidents include:

  • Equipment operator error or inexperience
  • Poor jobsite visibility or blind spots
  • Defective machinery or mechanical failure
  • Lack of safety training or supervision
  • Unsecured loads tipping over
  • Striking workers during operation
  • Rollovers on unstable ground

These accidents often happen quickly and without warning, leaving victims severely injured or worse.

Common Injuries from Bulldozer and Excavator Accidents

Due to the size and power of earth-moving machinery, injuries are often serious and life-changing. Victims may suffer from:

  • Crushed limbs or amputations
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Spinal cord injuries or paralysis
  • Internal bleeding or organ damage
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Fatal injuries in extreme cases

These injuries can lead to long-term medical care, permanent disability, and the inability to return to work. Our firm is committed to helping you recover the financial resources needed for your recovery and future.

Determining Liability in Heavy Equipment Accidents

Earth-moving equipment accidents can involve multiple responsible parties. While workers’ compensation may cover basic medical and wage-related benefits, you may also be able to file a third-party personal injury claim against:

  • Subcontractors or negligent equipment operators
  • Construction companies or general contractors
  • Equipment manufacturers for design or mechanical defects
  • Jobsite supervisors or safety managers

Scott M. Blumen, Attorney at Law, APC will investigate your accident thoroughly, collect key evidence, and determine the full extent of liability. Our goal is to hold every negligent party accountable.

  • Emergency and long-term medical expenses
  • Lost wages and reduced earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability and future care costs
  • Emotional distress
  • Wrongful death (for families who lost a loved one)

We work with medical and construction experts to build a compelling claim and negotiate aggressively on your behalf.
