Bulldozer Accidents

Bulldozers and heavy-equipment are commonly found on construction sites and are essential tools-of-the-trade for many workers involved in the construction of new buildings, the creation of new roads, and demolition projects. Accidents involving bulldozers have been known to occur and the resulting injuries can be very severe.

If you have been injured in an accident involving a bulldozer or other piece of heavy machinery, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits from your employer. Workers’ compensation often helps provide support for injured employees while they recover from their injuries.

Common Bulldozer Injuries

Because of their substantial size and weight, bulldozers can be a hazardous piece of equipment. Commonly reported bulldozer accidents include:

• Injuries sustained from falling off the machinery
• Operator injuries resulting from collision with another object
• Injuries to individuals run over by the machinery
• Injuries to operators or individuals near moving parts of the machinery
• Injuries sustained by individuals struck by objects falling from the bulldozer

Employees using bulldozers should have proper training before being allowed to operate the machinery. On the job site, they should exercise caution at all times to avoid causing injuries to themselves or others.
