Safety Equipment Defects
As you may know, virtually any product or type of safety equipment can become defective in one way or another and lead to serious injuries as a result. Just some of the most common types of defective safety equipment we see are as follows:
- Gloves
- Respirators
- Masks
- Protective glasses or other protective eyewear
- Gowns
- Shoe and head covers
- Harnesses
- Hard-hats or helmets
- Elbow or knee pads
- (In motor vehicles) seat belts & airbags
Filing a Defective Product Claim
If you were hurt because safety equipment didn’t act as it should due to a defect, there is a strong chance you’ll have a valid product liability claim. However, to win such a claim, you’ll be required to prove that the equipment in question was the direct cause of your accident and subsequent injury. To prove as much, you’ll have to hire a defective safety equipment lawyer who can help you gather and present evidence. Often, one of the best types of evidence when filing a product liability claim is the product itself, which is why you should never throw a defective product away. We can also help you collect the following:
- Video footage of your accident
- Pictures of the accident/its aftermath
- Medical documents
- A copy of the police report (if police were called to the scene)
- Witness testimony
Be sure to file your claim within two years of the date your accident occurred, in accordance with the state’s statute of limitations. Waiting longer than two years can permanently bar you from suing.
