Brunswick’s mix of industrial activity and high foot traffic means crush injuries can show up in different forms. Common situations we see include:
- Loading dock and warehouse incidents: pallet collapses, conveyor entrapment, or being caught between dock equipment and moving freight.
- Construction and jobsite hazards: staging failures, equipment malfunction, or improper rigging/loading that turns quickly.
- Vehicle-adjacent compression events: when trailers, carts, or heavy tools shift in tight workspaces (especially during fast-paced deliveries).
- Retail and back-of-house accidents: malfunctioning gates/doors, damaged shelving, or unsafe handling of heavy inventory.
In these settings, evidence isn’t just “what happened.” Insurers often focus on who controlled the area, whether safety steps were followed, and whether the equipment or process was maintained properly.
