Automotive repair and service personnel encounter a slate of hazards during the course of their work. While Chicago personal injury and workers' compensation firms, like the Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, PC, have been battling aggressively on behalf of the victims of occupational injuries for years; nevertheless, nearly 150 mechanics per year die while on the job, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and around 15,000 suffer significant injuries.

Over 950,000 automotive technicians operate in the United States (as of 2005). These technicians maintain and repair over 135 million cars, trucks, trains, buses and other vehicles. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the nearly million practicing mechanics, fewer than 300,000 are ASE certified. (This isn't to say that non-certified mechanics are unqualified; it's to indicate the degree to which the industry is fragmented.) Since standards for safety, ventilation, and environmental practices are so different from shop to shop, some professionals may be at far more risk than others for back problems, crushing and pinching injuries, soft tissue damage, and so forth.
