Our Experience With Conveyor Cases

One of our experts was retained in a conveyor system lawsuit that involved machine guarding in particular. In this case, the plaintiff was repairing a conveyor belt on a system for a very large company. After the belt had been replaced it was making some noise, so he was banging around on the system a little bit to see if he could find out where the noise was coming from. One of the guards dropped causing the plaintiff to shield his head with his arms. As he put his arms up to protect his head, his arm was pulled into the machine and mangled quite badly.

Our expert was able to bring to light some flaws in the design of the guard and the case settled.
