Belt Sanders

Power tools help professionals and amateurs alike complete construction and carpentry projects. One of the most important tools for anyone working with wood is a belt sander. With the aid of a belt sander, tasks like stripping paint are made far easier than attempting the same by hand. Like any power tool, however, belt sanders have the potential to cause injury.

A device that can strip paint and varnish from wood is also capable of causing traumatic damage to the skin. A defective, poorly maintained, or recklessly used belt sander can lead to injuries requiring skin grafts and leaving permanent scars. The medical bills from treatment for serious skin injuries can be enormous. When these injuries occur at work, employers will usually be required to provide assistance for these losses in the form of workers’ compensation insurance.

Workers’ compensation is essentially a way for an employer to defray the cost of medical treatment for employees. In addition to medical bills, a serious injury can also mean time away from work. By filing for workers’ compensation, you can offset the financial effects of a workplace injury. A workers’ compensation attorney can work with you to see that you receive the maximum possible help when you have been injured.
