Crushing and pinning injuries often happen during serious workplace accidents involving heavy machinery, equipment, vehicles, or collapsing materials. These injuries are especially common in industrial environments where workers regularly operate around forklifts, manufacturing equipment, warehouse machinery, loading areas, and construction materials.
Unlike some workplace injuries caused by repetitive strain over time, crushing accidents usually occur suddenly and can result in severe physical trauma within seconds.
Workers may become pinned between machinery, struck by shifting materials, trapped beneath heavy equipment, or caught in dangerous operating zones around industrial equipment and vehicles.
These accidents can cause fractures, internal injuries, nerve damage, spinal injuries, amputations, and long-term physical limitations affecting a worker’s ability to safely return to physically demanding employment.
Under the Indiana Workers’ Compensation system, injured workers may be entitled to medical treatment, wage replacement benefits, and compensation related to serious crushing and pinning injuries sustained at work.
