Charleston Manufacturing Industry Amputation Lawyers

Every job comes with its own unique rewards and demands. For many positions within the manufacturing industry, the rewards often consist of relatively good pay and benefits that offer more protections for a worker and their family than those available in other fields. The physical demands of such labor, however, can be extremely intensive and may force one out of work years before less demanding positions might. In addition, a variety of dangers exist in the modern manufacturing setting due to the massive, complex, and potentially deadly machinery that is involved in mass production.

Amputation injuries or other traumas that eventually require amputation are of particular concern, and are especially damaging to a worker and her family. If an unsafe work environment led to the loss of one or more of your limbs, contact the Charleston manufacturing industry amputation lawyers of the Steinberg Law Firm at 843-720-2800.

Danger Zones

Statistics on workplace amputations reinforce the belief that manufacturing is one of the most dangerous industries for workers. For the 8-year period ending in 1999, more than 11,000 amputations were suffered each year in workplaces across the United States. More than half the victims of these tragic accidents worked in the manufacturing sector. In fact, the following three manufacturing occupations represented more nonfatal amputations than all other fields combined:

• Operator
• Fabricator
• Laborer
