Your Rights After Injury Due To Dangerous, Defective Machinery And Other Products
A general principle when designing and building machinery is that a machine should be designed to outlive but not endanger owners or users. Any risk of serious injury or death is unreasonable if the designer or manufacturer could have taken reasonable methods to prevent injury or eliminate dangers.
The designer, manufacturer or distributor of a machine must take four specific steps to minimize product defects and ensure product safety:
- Identify any potential hazards
- If possible, build the machine in a manner that eliminates any potential hazards
- If the machine will not function without potential hazards, take necessary steps to guard against injury
- If users cannot be adequately protected from injury, make certain the machines contain adequate warnings to any potential users
If you were injured by a dangerous product, you may be able to file a product liability claim. Your case may focus on the malfunction or inherent risk involved with any man-made, assembled or installed product. Hazardous products can range from small consumer products such as electric razors or microwave ovens to motor vehicles, home security systems and even road structures such as the 35W bridge.
