Worker Safety Cases

For years workers have needlessly suffered catastrophic personal injury and death because of dangerous and defective products and the carelessness of others, and for years, The McClellan Law Firm has represented those workers and their families.

Navigating the liability maze created by the Workers Compensation statutes, OSHA standards and relevant court decisions takes expertise and experience. The attorneys of The McClellan Law Firm have both. We believe that the workplace should not and does not have to be a place of danger and we fight for worker safety in each case.

Below is a representative sampling of some of the results that The McClellan Law Firm has obtained on behalf of its clients in worker safety cases.

In Hernandez v. E.G. Heller's Son, Inc., the plaintiffs' husband and father was killed by a misaligned punch press machine that he had been working on. While the machine was nearly 35 years old, The McClellan Law Firm argued that better and safer technology was available at the time it was built. The case settled for just over $1 million.

In Guardado v. Aggregates Equipment, Inc., three of the plaintiff's fingers were traumatically amputated when they got caught in a sand-washing machine that he, as a new employee, had been asked to clean. The machine was running at the time and lacked a guard or shutoff to prevent access to moving parts while the machine was running. The case settled for $2,150,000.

In Acosta v. Industrial Asphalt, the plaintiff worker suffered serious injuries when he was partially run over by an asphalt truck that was backing up. The case settled for $7,830,000.

In Flowers v. NCR, the plaintiff suffered a minor brain injury as the result of a slip-and-fall on the stairway at his workplace. The case settled for $1,250,000.

In Vandenberg v. Honda, the plaintiffs' husband and father was killed test driving a Honda motorcycle when a co-worker stepped out on the track to take his picture and into his path, causing a collision. The case settled during trial for a confidential amount.

In Castro v. Price-Costco, Inc., the plaintiff lost a hand as he attempted to operate a hamburger patty-making machine. The McClellan Law Firm settled the case for a confidential amount.
