The designers and manufacturers of machinery are required to ensure safety in their products by identifying and eliminating potential dangers and protect against user injury. If they cannot guard against injury than they must properly warn the user.
Experience is crucial to assess if a victim of a machinery accident is limited to only worker's compensation benefits or if a lawsuit can be pursued against other responsible defendants. Too many victims do not get the justice they deserve because their lawyer did not know how to obtain the necessary documents that prove a lawsuit against another defendant is warranted.
The Accurso Law Firm has pursued many machinery cases, and we are very experienced in assessing if a machine is properly guarded or properly designed. Original patents and historical information regarding the machinery and how a human should be taught to interact with the machine can be crucial. We recently were very successful in a case where our client lost his arm to an improperly guarded printing press. These tragic cases require great expertise.
You may have a case if you were injured by machinery and believe that steps were not taken to identify and eliminate potential product dangers. Any injury or death is inexcusable when the designer or manufacturer could have eliminated the danger and thus prevented the injury or death of the consumer. At The Accurso Law firm we understand the pain and suffering that an injury or death of a loved one can cause. Please contact us for a free consultation regarding your injury and potential case.
