Who Is Liable Defective Power Tools or Machinery Accidents?
Understanding where product liability (Read: What is product liability?) lies can be a complex legal matter. Often more than one party can be liable when a defective product like a power tool or piece of machinery causes a personal injury or wrongful death.
For instance, when a person injured at work due to a defective machine or tool may have a claim for workers’ compensation.
This may not be the only avenue to receiving compensation and recovering damages.
In this example, the victim may also be able to bring their case against the machine or tool manufacturer and the retailer or seller of the device – if the proper conditions are met.
This is where an experienced product liability attorney is needed. Our team of attorneys focuses on product liability and defective product cases. With our experience, we are able to discover unseen aspects of your case to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve. Contact us today for a free review of your personal injury case.
Product Liability Can Be Attributed To:
- The product designer
- The product manufacturer
- A parts manufacturer
- The wholesaler
- The retailer
- The advertiser
