Injuries Caused By Faulty Consumer Goods And Hazardous Workplaces

Numerous work accidents and injuries are caused by defective equipment and machinery. This can include commercial trucks, heavy equipment, construction equipment, safety equipment, coal mine equipment, and natural gas drilling equipment. Industrial machinery, power tools, forklifts, and conveyor belts can also cause workplace injuries.

When work equipment fails, it may be because of a design or manufacturing defect. In some cases, however, workers are injured when equipment is not properly maintained. Employers must perform regular safety and maintenance checks on equipment and machinery. If they fail to do so, they may be held liable for injuries.

We also represent people injured by defective consumer goods such as appliances, gas grills, space heaters, electrical equipment, ATVs, toys and prescription drugs. When we determine why the product failed, we may seek damages from the designer, manufacturer, distributor and/or retailer. Each case is different, so it is important that you discuss yours with an attorney.
