AAMCO Repair Shop Slip and Fall

AAMCO auto repair shop has a reputation for being extremely courteous to its customers. That works great for maintaining customer rapport in the long run, but does not affect the situation that runs behind the scenes in the garage. Many AAMCO auto repair garages have had injuries to their employees. These employees have been injured from having to work in dangerous conditions. The conditions range from slip and falls to being electrocuted, all of which can result in serious injuries. Let’s review some of these situations to find out what you should do if this applies to you, and you are an AAMCO employee or someone with a related issue.

Slip and Fall Over Oil or Water on the Ground

Auto repair shops are dangerous environments, where there are a number of potentially dangerous activities going on at the same time. It is possible for an employee to slip and fall at any time in an AAMCO auto repair shop. The case in point is when an employee slips on the floor from coming into contact with a slippery surface. If you are injured in an AAMCO auto repair shop as an employee, then you will be making a claim under workers compensation with the company. You need to discuss the ins and outs of this claim with an experienced attorney first. We are here to provide that service to you, and we are happy to go over the finer points of this type of claim with you.

If you are injured on a slippery floor at an AAMCO auto repair shop, it is not your fault. There are many slick areas on the floor that can pose a slipping hazard for an AAMCO auto repair shop employee. For instance, the floor can be covered in:

• Oil
• Transmission fluid
• Water
• Antifreeze
• Chemicals
• Other fluids from an automobile

When a mechanic in the shop makes an oil change, the chemicals often get washed down the drain in the center of the floor after the fluid changes are completed. If these messes are not cleaned up right away, there can be the potential hazard for a slip and fall accident. It is also possible to trip and fall on parts, auto parts, repair tools and other items that are needed in the shop, but left in the aisles for someone to trip on. When you have been injured in a slip and fall at AAMCO auto repair shop, you need to talk to an attorney with expertise in these types of circumstances. You can give us a call and we will review your claim for a slip and fall in an AAMCO auto repair shop.

Trip and Fall Over Wires and Hoses

Any time that work is being completed at the AAMCO auto repair shop, there are many wires that are crisscrossed throughout the shop floor as everyone is busy working on a vehicle. Many mechanics do their jobs well, and you do too, but it still leaves you open for being injured on the shop floor. Because you fall on some wires on the shop floor, it does not make you clumsy, a tripping person for no reason, someone who is inattentive or someone who does not care about your overall work. You are not at fault if there are dangerous conditions on the shop floor that you just happen to trip on. The tools that are used every day in an auto repair shop are tripping hazards for every person working in the shop, and include:

• Air hoses
• Jumper cable wires
• Light fixtures
• Vacuum hoses
• Tire pressure hoses
• Pipes
• Electrical chording for various tools
• Various compressors
• Brake bleeder hose

It is possible to trip on any of these tripping hazards in an automotive repair shop. Our Los Angeles case lawyers can file a lawsuit to review the conditions and circumstances of your case, if you have tripped and fallen at an AAMCO auto repair shop.

Falling Objects Causing Personal Injuries

Repair shops are notorious for storing many of their tools for use in the shop on overhead storage areas around the shop work space. To their credit, there are a large amount of tools that need to be used for specific jobs within the auto repair shop. It is better for their business to have too many tools around, then to have too few, which makes sense. What doesn’t make sense, is that these tools are not put in overhead storage in a secured manner, and many of them will just fall down without much provocation at the shop over time.

The tools that are dangerous if they fell on you are too many to count. These are tools with sharp edges, teeth, serrated blades or are heavy handed tools that could injure someone’s foot, hand or skull if the tool fell on a human. Heavy locking tools, lift assembly spare parts and other heavy objects in the auto shop can be dislodged from a storage area by accident, and fall on someone who knocks into a storage rack holding these tools. If you have been injured by a tool that has fallen on you, it is important to talk to a lawyer ready to review the consequences of this type of claim and recovery. We are able to talk to you right now, and a lawyer with experience in the appropriate laws applicable to this case will be happy to sit down with you confidentially to review the information pertinent to your case.

Burn Injury

Mechanics are in the business of fixing cars and trucks. They deal with heavy equipment all day, and some of that equipment is hot. Not just hot, but searing hot. Have you ever put your own hand on the hood of your car after a long car ride? You see that it is unbelievably hot to the touch. Would you want to fix your car when it is in this state? The answer is no, but at the auto mechanics shop, there are times that working on even a cold engine with electrical tools can produce a spark or arc that can burn the worker.

When you are injured in an auto repair shop and are burned, it will be a painful injury to say the least. These injuries are from electrical wires that have seared the skin and produce painful and deep layer burns. On top of that, the auto mechanic workspace is not a sterile environment. These burns are on the skin of the employee and there is also the element of dirt, grime, oil, sand, grit, chemicals, gasoline and other particulate matter and contaminants that can also seep into this type of flesh wound. Many times, these burn wounds are to the face, upper body and arms and are on other part of the victim’s body. You need to discuss these injuries with our lawyers who can help with your sensitive case. We can go over your personal injuries and talk about the extent of your injuries in complete confidence in a confidential meeting on the merits of your case.

Electric Shock Injury

Electrical shocks can occur at any time in an auto mechanic shop or on the shop floor. There are welding projects going on simultaneously at the shop, wires that are crossed by accident, machinery used in awkward positions, unbalanced tools that spin too fast or too slow for the proper rotations, unstable machinery, guarding missing, no warning signals given, or strange vibrations on machinery that can result in a serious electric shock to the user of these tools. If this has happened to you, you need to call us and talk to an attorney in this particular area of the law. We will help you file a lawsuit based on this type of cause of action, and help you get back the money that you deserve in this type of case.

Toxic Fumes Inhalation

AAMCO auto repair shop and other repair shops are notorious for having environments where there are toxic fumes in the shop area. These fumes are dangerous to inhale over time, and can cause injuries to the lungs and other areas of the organs. Mechanics and other shop workers need to be aware of hazards inhaling dangerous fumes to avoid:

• Inhaling chemical solvents
• Smelling gasoline for prolonged periods of time
• Eating and drinking in the work area where food is contaminated by chemicals
• Not washing hands and putting chemicals from hands to nose or mouth areas
• Not understanding or being trained on chemical data sheets and poisonous gases in the area
