JCB Accident Claims
JCB is a market-leading manufacturer of construction machinery such as diggers (or backhoes), excavators, tractors and diesel engines. Their machinery is sold in more than 150 countries around the world and is used extensively within the Construction sector. Although JCB machinery has a good reputation for reliability and safety, faults or malfunctions can occur for various reasons and, unfortunately, this can sometimes result in the injury of the operator, or others within the vicinity.
What are the typical cause of JCB machine accidents?
Injuries from a JCB accident can be caused in any construction site. This kind of heavy machinery can be responsible for all kinds of injuries, this includes long-term injuries. In most cases, these accidents will be due to human error or mechanical faults. Thanks to their hard-wearing and reliable design, most JCBs will be able to offer many, many years of reliable use. However, there are reasons why they could suffer from a mechanical defect.
These include manufacturer faults, or, more commonly, an oversight on the part of the company operating the machinery. For instance, a JCB accident may occur when the machine is not regularly maintained in line with manufacturers’ specifications. Or, when the JCB is damaged during use and the relevant repairs are not carried out.
Damaged or poorly maintained JCB machinery is far more dangerous to operate and therefore more prone to causing accidents. However, JCB accidents are not always the result of negligence or a manufacturer fault. Sometimes they can simply occur due to human error on the part of the operator. A lack of relevant training can sometimes cause JCB operators to work unsafely and sadly, this can lead to accidents.
