The Dangers of Power Saws at Work
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), power saws—both portable and stationary—are responsible for a significant number of workplace injuries every year. Common causes of power saw accidents include:
- Lack of proper safety training or equipment
- Defective or improperly guarded saw blades
- Employers failing to maintain equipment
- Operators not wearing eye or face protection
- Manufacturing defects in power saws
- Operators with insufficient experience
Workplace hazards, like poorly maintained tools or unsafe environments, contribute to thousands of preventable power saw injuries annually. A study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) found that over 30,000 table saw injuries occur each year.
Common Injuries Caused by Power Saws
Injuries from power saw accidents can range from minor cuts to life-altering disabilities. Common injuries include:
- Lacerations
- Fractures
- Nerve and tendon damage
- Hand and finger injuries
- Amputations
- Eye injuries
- Electrocution
Severe injuries often require extensive medical treatment, such as surgeries, skin grafts, or long-term rehabilitation, and can leave victims permanently disabled or scarred.
If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury due to a power saw, our attorneys at E&L, LLP are ready to assess your case and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
Workers’ Compensation for Power Saw Injuries
If you were injured by a power saw at work, you are generally entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits may include:
- Medical Care
Workers’ compensation typically covers all necessary medical expenses related to your injury, including hospital visits, rehabilitation, surgeries, medications, and more. If your injury results in permanent disability or disfigurement, you may also qualify for a lump sum settlement.
- Wage Replacement Benefits
If your injury prevents you from working or limits your ability to work, workers’ compensation provides wage replacement benefits, often a percentage of your regular income.
- Death Benefits
If a loved one was killed in a power saw accident at work, their dependents may be entitled to death benefits, which typically include income replacement and funeral expenses.
If your workers’ compensation claim is denied or undervalued, our attorneys can fight to get you the benefits you need to rebuild your life.

Pursuing a Personal Injury Lawsuit
While workers’ compensation claims are often the first step, you may also be able to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional compensation, especially for non-economic damages such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of life enjoyment
- Permanent disability
You may have grounds for a lawsuit if:
- A third party, such as a contractor or property owner, caused the accident
- A manufacturer produced a defective power saw
- Your employer acted with gross negligence
At E&L, LLP, we will evaluate your case to determine whether you have grounds to file a personal injury claim and pursue maximum compensation on your behalf.
Filing a Lawsuit Against a Power Saw Manufacturer
If a defective power saw caused your injury, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer. Common defects that can lead to lawsuits include:
- Design defects: Flaws in the design that make the saw inherently dangerous.
- Manufacturing defects: Errors during assembly that result in a malfunctioning product.
- Marketing defects: Inadequate safety warnings or instructions on how to use the tool properly.
Product liability lawsuits can be complex, but our experienced attorneys can investigate your claim, gather evidence, and build a strong case against negligent manufacturers.
