These statistics are concerning, as they show that Riverside County has a higher than average rate of machinery-related accidents. This may be due to a number of factors, such as the presence of many manufacturing and industrial facilities in the county, or simply because there are more people working with machinery in Riverside County than in other parts of the state. A large part of the blame can be attributed to poorly maintained equipment. This leads to accidents, which can often result in serious injuries. If you have been injured in a machinery accident, please contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
