Fighting for injured people
across Durham and the Triangle
Crush injuries can damage muscle, bone, and nerves for good. Our Durham crush injury lawyers fight for the money you need to recover and move forward.
When a workplace machine malfunctions or a vehicle crashes and pins someone, it’s not just an “accident.” It’s a catastrophic failure of duty.
At Johnson & Groninger PLLC, we represent workers and individuals in Durham and across North Carolina who have suffered devastating crush injuries. These aren’t minor injuries you can walk off. These are life-changing traumas that can leave you unable to work, struggling to recover, and fighting for fair compensation.
We’re not here to play nice with insurance companies. We’re here to fight for the justice you deserve.
A crush injury happens when part of your body—often a limb—is compressed between two heavy objects. Think hands caught in industrial rollers, legs pinned under collapsed scaffolding, or entire bodies trapped in vehicle wrecks. The pressure causes:
Crush injuries are medical emergencies. Victims often require multiple surgeries, amputations, skin grafts, and long-term rehabilitation. Some never fully recover.
Crush injuries don’t just happen randomly. They happen when safety protocols fail. Common scenarios we see include:
In almost every case, there’s a clear party at fault—an employer who failed to train or protect their employees, a company that manufactured defective machinery, or a contractor who cut safety corners.
You focus on healing. We’ll handle the rest.
You’ve already been through enough. Our job is to take the pressure off you while delivering the results you need to move forward. Here’s what we do:
We get the full story—interviewing witnesses, reviewing safety records, consulting with experts, and preserving key evidence.
Was it your employer? A subcontractor? The manufacturer of a faulty machine? We get to the bottom of it and pursue every responsible party.
That means money for:
We work with economists, life care planners, and medical specialists to calculate the true value of your case.
If you were injured on the job, you may have a workers’ compensation claim and a third-party personal injury lawsuit. We handle both under one roof—so you don’t fall through the cracks.
Insurance companies often make early offers that look good—until you realize they barely cover a fraction of your long-term needs. We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial.
And when we show up in court, we bring the full force of our firm’s experience, resources, and reputation to the table.
You don’t get second chances with a life-changing injury. We’re here to make sure you don’t have to.
At Johnson & Groninger, we’ve recovered millions of dollars for injured clients throughout North Carolina. Our attorneys are known across the state for their trial skills, especially in serious injury cases involving:
We’ve gone up against some of the largest employers, insurers, and corporations—and won.
You don’t have to settle for a firm that treats you like a file number. At Johnson & Groninger, we see you—and we show up for you.
If you or a loved one suffered a crush injury, the last thing you need is legal red tape. You need answers. You need accountability. You need someone who will fight like hell to get you what you deserve.
Call Johnson & Groninger PLLC today for a free consultation. Let’s talk about what happened, who’s responsible, and how we can help you reclaim your future.
Possibly both. If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ comp benefits. If someone other than your employer (like a contractor, manufacturer, or property owner) was also responsible, you may also be able to file a third-party personal injury lawsuit.
Amputations are common in crush injury cases and often lead to lifelong disability. That increases both the value and complexity of your case. We work with medical professionals and life planners to fully document the extent of your loss—and demand compensation accordingly.
