What Kind Of Injuries Are Common in Bow, Arrow, and Hunting Accidents?

Hunting is an inherently dangerous activity and hobby.

No matter the number of safety measures a hunter or a group takes, there is always a risk when guns, firearms, and other hunting equipment are involved. When a gun, firearm, or crossbow is fired it doesn’t always mean that the trigger was pulled intentionally. Some of these products can be defective from the manufacturer, retailer, or owner.

The attorneys at Schiffman Firm are experts in representing cases where the victim has been injured by hunting equipment like a bow, crossbow, compound bow, or arrow. Our team has over 100 years of combined experience in successfully taking personal injury and product liability (Read: What is product liability?) cases to court and delivering the results and compensation our clients deserve.

Who is Liable When Someone Is Injured in a Hunting Accident that Includes a Defective Bow, Crossbow, or Arrow?

A product liability case is a scenario in which a manufacturer or retailer has sold a product with a defect that causes personal injury or harm to a person or group of people.

Investigating and pursuing a product liability case requires expertise as well as an understanding of the manner in which the particular product is expected to work under reasonable conditions.

When it comes to hunting equipment like bows, crossbows, and arrows – determining whether it’s a defective product and who is liable can be a complicated matter.

Defective Triggeres, Broken Arrows, Poor Engineering

What Are Some Common Defects and Examples In Hunting Equipment Like Bows, Crossbows, and Arrows?

Just because a gun or a crossbow fires or goes off doesn’t mean that trigger was necessarily pulled.

Guns and crossbows can be manufactured with defective triggers or safety features that cause the weapon to fire even when the trigger is not pulled. This type of accident can cause catastrophic damage and even cause wrongful death. Defects in ammunition or manufacturing flaw in arrows can also create a scenario where a hunter or bystander could suffer a personal injury.
