Fork Lift Injuries

Forklifts are heavy machines. If and when they roll over, the results of such a forklift accident can be catastrophic. Forklift accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, including defective hydraulic systems, defective and explosive batteries, accidents involving propane tanks, a failure by the manufacturer to warn users of the potential risks and proper operating procedures and failure of the manufacturer to design and build the machine and operator’s compartment so when it does roll over it will protect the operator, not injure the operator. The maximum weight capacity of a forklift and the height at which varying weights can be lifted are extremely important figures that should be displayed prominently to forklift operators.

If you or someone you love has suffered a forklift injury because of a failure to warn or a manufacturing or design defect, a representative from our Miami, Florida law office can help. A defective products lawyer can provide you with the resources you need to obtain just and fair financial compensation for your suffering and to make sure the manufacturer changes the design.

Defective Airbags

Airbags are powerful, explosive devices that have the potential to cause serious harm. When they perform as intended, airbags can serve as a useful safety measure in the event of an accident. Unfortunately, airbags do cause injury and, in some tragic cases, death. If you or a loved one was injured because an airbag exploded with an unreasonable amount of force, activated when it wasn't supposed to, or a manufacturer failed to warn you of the dangers of the airbag, and if that defect caused serious, debilitating, and permanent injuries, then you should call us toll free at the number on the top of the page. To ensure that your rights are protected, we urge you to contact our Miami, Florida law office. A lawyer who handles defective products cases can review your case and devise a course of action.

Defective Tires

Tires are an integral part of an automobile, and a tire failure can seriously jeopardize a driver's ability to control his or her vehicle. Tire failures can result in a vehicle rollover, rear-end collision, and sudden loss of control. If you have been injured or a loved one was killed because a tire suddenly de-treaded or suffered a sudden blowout, call us today. It is important to note that in a defective tire claim, the plaintiff must prove that the failure resulted because of a design or manufacturing defect, and not due to poor or improper maintenance.

Seat Belt Injuries

In the event of a car accident, a seatbelt can save a person's life. However, if a seatbelt is designed poorly or fails to perform as designed as a result of a manufacturing defect, it can cause severe injury in the event of a crash. Defective seatbelts can cause chest and abdominal abrasion, sternal fracture (a fracture of the sternum, or breast plate), intestinal injuries, spinal trauma, rib fractures, and bowel injury.

Also, if the seatbelt latch fails because of a defect, the belt can come undone in an accident.  Then, the person can be thrown from the car and injured or killed. If you have suffered injuries in a motor vehicle accident, and you believe it to be the result of a defective seatbelt, contact our Miami, Florida law office today. A defective products lawyer can offer you sound legal counsel and effective representation.
