What Is a Machinery Accident Claim?
A machinery accident claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you have been injured at work while operating or being near dangerous or faulty equipment. Factories, warehouses, construction sites, and agricultural settings all use machinery that can cause serious injuries when safety standards are ignored.
Despite strict health and safety laws, accidents still happen when equipment is defective, poorly maintained, or when employers fail to provide training and supervision. If you’ve been injured in the last three years in a machinery accident that wasn’t your fault, LITKRAFT can help you claim compensation and secure the support you need.
Who Can Claim?
You may be entitled to make a machinery accident claim if you were injured because of unsafe equipment, inadequate training, or employer negligence. Eligible claimants include:
• Employees using machinery or tools at work
• Self-employed or agency workers operating equipment on site
• Contractors, visitors, or inspectors injured around machinery
• Anyone harmed due to defective or missing safety guards
Responsibility may lie with your employer, site owner, equipment supplier, or another party depending on the circumstances.

Common Causes of Machinery Accidents
Workplace machinery can be hazardous, and without proper safeguards accidents are common. The main causes include:
• Faulty or poorly maintained equipment
• Missing or broken safety guards
• Using machinery for the wrong purpose
• Inadequate training or lack of supervision
• Failure to provide protective equipment (PPE)
• Lack of regular safety inspections or risk assessments
• Overloaded, misused, or poorly installed machinery
What You Can Claim For
• Physical injuries and psychological trauma
• Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
• Loss of income and reduced future earning capacity
• Long-term care, home adaptations, or mobility aids
• Travel expenses and out-of-pocket costs
• Damage to personal items or work equipment
How Much Compensation Could You Get?
Every machinery accident claim is different. The compensation you receive will depend on:
• The medical evidence of your injury and how long recovery takes
• Any loss of earnings and the impact on your future income
• The long-term effect on your independence and wellbeing
• The cost of treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
• Additional expenses caused by the accident
Your solicitor will calculate the value of your claim using medical reports, financial records, and the official Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to ensure your settlement reflects the real impact of the accident on your life.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
