A crush injury occurs when a person gets caught, squeezed, or pinched between two or more objects or surfaces. Crush injuries may involve getting caught between a piece of equipment like a forklift and a wall, squeezed between two vehicles, or entangled in a piece of machinery, for example.
The crushing action can cause severe injuries to the affected body part. Crush injuries can inflict severe trauma to muscles, bones, nerves, and blood vessels, potentially leading to broken bones or torn ligaments, tendons, and muscles, as well as long-term pain and impairment.
Workers in industries that use heavy machinery, equipment, or materials have the highest risk of suffering crush injuries. Jobs and industries where crush injuries most frequently occur include:

For example, a worker who suffers a crush injury caused by a negligent truck driver not employed by the same company may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim against the driver and the driver’s employer.
A third-party injury claim can provide workers with financial compensation not offered by workers’ compensation, such as:
