How can we help?
Heavy machinery roll-over or entrapment incidents can lead to devastating injuries, including amputations, fractures, and life-changing trauma. These types of accidents often occur in industrial, construction, and agricultural settings and involve equipment such as compactors, presses, forklifts, and excavators. If you or a loved one has suffered serious harm due to a heavy machinery roll-over or entrapment, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
At Stephensons, our experienced personal injury solicitors understand the physical, emotional, and financial distress such incidents can cause. We are committed to supporting you from the initial consultation through to securing the compensation you deserve.
A heavy machinery roll-over occurs when a large piece of equipment tips over, potentially crushing or trapping operators or nearby personnel. Entrapment incidents, on the other hand, happen when a person becomes caught in the moving parts or structure of a machine, such as within the mechanisms of compactors, hydraulic presses, or conveyor systems.
These accidents are frequently caused by inadequate safety measures, lack of proper training, machinery defects, or failure to follow health and safety regulations. The injuries resulting from such events can be catastrophic, often leading to surgical amputation, nerve damage, spinal injuries, or even fatalities.
Yes. If your injury was the result of someone else’s negligence – such as an employer failing to maintain equipment or not providing proper training – you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim. The compensation can help cover medical treatment, rehabilitation, loss of income, and the long-term impact the injury has on your quality of life.
Claims can be made not only by workers but also by members of the public if the injury occurred in a public or commercial setting due to exposure to unsafe machinery. In the case of fatal accidents, close family members may be able to make a claim for compensation on behalf of the deceased.

We understand that every injury case is unique. Our solicitors will begin by assessing the details of your accident and advising you on the strength of your claim.

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to make your claim. There are exceptions, particularly if the injured party is under 18 or lacks mental capacity and in some other specific scenarios, so it's advisable to seek legal advice as soon as possible.
Evidence may include accident reports, witness statements, photographs of the accident scene, medical reports, and records of any loss of earnings. Our solicitors can help you gather all necessary documentation to support your case.
Yes. Even if you were partially responsible for the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation, though the amount may be adjusted to reflect your share of responsibility.
The compensation you receive will depend on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and any loss of earnings. In amputation and serious injury cases, settlements can be substantial to reflect ongoing medical care and lifestyle adjustments.
Most personal injury claims are settled outside of court. However, if a settlement cannot be reached, we will robustly represent your interests in court to help secure the best possible outcome.
