A worker in a manufacturing plant has been operating a machine for 10 years. He's never had a problem, never been hurt. On this day a delivery driver comes into the plant and doesn't follow his company procedures. The result - The machine operator loses an arm.
When our Atlanta Georgia Personal Injury law firm investigates the case against the delivery driver and his employer an important area we focus on is the safety procedures which are part of the driver's responsibilities. Examples: Is he allowed in the plant? Are there areas that are off limits to him? Must he not interfere with unloading when he makes deliveries?
The safety procedures are almost always set out in booklets, brochures, on the company website, etc. This can lead to critical evidence to establish negligence that makes out the case and results in a successful outcome.
