Our client suffered a crush injury to his left hand after a machine equipment fell down on him at a New Hampshire auto repair shop. Our client was at the shop to repair his lawn equipment, when the shop owner asked our client to hold two pieces of the lawn equipment together while he tightened the tie down strap. While holding the pieces as instructed, the strap let go along with the weld, causing the equipment to fall onto our client’s left dominant hand. The machine weighed over 400 pounds.
Our client suffered fractures, extensive swelling, bruising, scarring and bleeding from the numerous abrasions and lacerations in his hand. His injury required him to undergo several radiographs and an Occupational/Physical Rehabilitation Therapy.
