Is There An Attorney That Handles Personal Injuries Caused By Defective Snow Blowers?
Winter in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania can bring bitter coldness, icy roads, and snow – lots of it.
Snow blowers and snow throwers are invaluable tools that can help homeowners and property owners quickly remove snow to clear driveways and create walking paths to ensure they aren’t creating an unsafe or dangerous premise. However, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), snow blowers are directly responsible for more than 5,700 injuries every year.
If a person is injured by a defective snow blower or snow thrower, the case should be handled by attorneys with experience and expertise in product liability law due to the complexity and the amount of time and financial resources required to secure the right compensation for the victim.

What Types of Manufacturer or Retailer Defects Cause a Snow Blower Accident?
Like other personal injury cases involving defective products, a snow blower or snow thrower accident is most commonly caused by a manufacturer defect or malfunctioning part.
Most snow blowers and snow throwers feature a chute that launches snow collected from a rotating set of auger blades that break up hard deposits of snow and ice. There may be times when this chute and exit path have to be cleared out manually – a defective or malfunctioning part may cause the engine to ignore the shut-off safety feature which can create a situation that could cause catastrophic and life-changing injuries to the operator.
Other cases have involved faulty or defective snow blower tires and wheels that can explode, especially while being inflated.
Snow blowers and snow throwers can be extremely efficient and time-saving tools for homeowners and property owners in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and every user has the right to their personal safety when operating these or any type of machinery under reasonable conditions. If you or someone you love was hurt by a defective product like a snow blower or any other type of machinery, contact the personal injury attorneys at Schiffman Firm for a free evaluation of your case today.
Common defects in snow blowers that can cause injury include:
Defective carburetor and carburetor components
Malfunctioning or defective parts found in a carburetor can cause gasoline to leak and escape creating the potential for fire and even explosions that could cause burn injuries and harm to both operators and bystanders
Malfunctioning sensors or defective mechanical safeguards
A defective sensor or safeguard that fails to stop the engine when an operator goes to clear the snow exit chute can cause catastrophic injury including finger and hand amputations
Poorly designed or defective fuel tanks
Certain snow blower makes and models utilize plastic fuel tanks that could be susceptible to damage and leaking that can possibly cause hazardous conditions with the potential to create fire and even produce explosions leading to burn injuries and hazardous chemical exposure.
Poorly designed tires and wheels
Numerous snow blower and snow thrower owners, operators, and even bystanders have been injured while inflating defective tires and wheels that have exploded, sending shards and sharp pieces of metal hurling at high speeds
