Even after the collapse of the automotive industry in Detroit decades ago due to competition in much cheaper markets, the automotive industry has always held on to hope, and for the first time in our history, these factories are back once again, hiring thousands of eager Americans to work on different vehicles from assembly to quality control and safety tests, to name a few. The automotive industry is a hands-on one, and vehicles are assembled piece by piece, making cognitive sharpness and spatial awareness assets that cannot be replaced.

Therefore, automotive center workers are often the best in their class, and they possess specialized knowledge and an aptitude that is usually not seen in most people. According to federal safety outfits like OSHA, these workers require the highest level of safety in order to protect them from any hazardous agents as well as keep them motivated and healthy as they go about their work.

When a catastrophic injury occurs at an automotive assembly plant, it may be tempting to call it just that – a fluke, a spot of bad luck, and accept the workers’ compensation package that the company offers. As best automotive factory worker injury attorneys, we can confidently tell you that this is about the worst mistake you can make. To start with, in the world of injuries, there is rarely something called a pure accident due to bad luck. More often than not, what you would call bad luck is usually the actions or lack thereof of an individual that was tasked to ensure that systems were working and that there was no breach of duty of care towards those that it was owed to, usually the workers of a corporation.

Automotive parent companies that control these facilities usually make billions in revenue each year and their market capitalizations often surpass the GDPs of small nations, and have insurance policies that match their size. It is therefore laughable and downright offensive that they would offer a pittance with regard to workers’ compensation just so they can make the problem go away and, in the end, leave you with tens or hundreds of thousands in unpaid bills. If you were injured while working at a car assembly plant, read on to find out how we can help you recover compensation for your injuries as the best factory injury attorneys in the country.

How Do Injuries at Automotive Manufacturing Plants Occur?

Here are some of the ways in which preventable injuries occur at automotive plants:

1. Robotic and automated system accidents – These days, robotics run modern assembly plants in order to enhance speed and efficiency. Thousands of robotic arms are responsible for transferring, welding and assembling vehicle components that would take the average worker three times longer. However, when these arms malfunction due to the bypassing of safety light curtains or are made to work for too long without stopping, workers that control them may suffer crush injuries, head injuries when a gripper fails and so on
2. Stamping press injuries – these presses are responsible for shaping vehicle body panels and as a result, must generate thousands of tons of pressure so they can do their job. However, when a worker enters the press in order to get rid of any jams that may be causing issues, injuries can occur if the safety interlocks are disabled, or when they did not receive comprehensive training on how to manage these presses.
3. Overhead crane and hoist failures – heavy components are moved using these giant mechanical implements; things like engines and transmissions. However, when a crane fails due to lack of maintenance, the hiring of unqualified personnel or a manufacturing defect, the result is almost always catastrophic when an engine falls on a worker, leading to crushes and spinal cord and head injuries.

With regard to liability for injuries, entities such as the automotive manufacturer, equipment manufacturer, maintenance contractors and engineering firms can all be held liable if it is discovered they breached their duty of care toward you, the worker through either lack of training, supplying defective machines, lack of regular maintenance and so on.
