In Farmington, many serious injuries happen in settings tied to industrial work and construction schedules—places where tight timelines and high output can strain safety systems. Crush injuries often involve moments where someone is:
- Pinched between equipment and a fixed surface
- Trapped during loading/unloading
- Caught by moving parts (guards, rollers, conveyors, lifts)
- Compressed in a vehicle/industrial interaction (forklifts, trailers, docks)
What turns it into a claim is usually not whether the accident was “intentional,” but whether someone failed to follow required safety practices—like proper guarding, lockout/tagout procedures, training, or safe setup.
