Consequences of defective machinery
Machinery can be defective because it is badly designed and inherently dangerous. It can also be defective because of a manufacturing defect. It can be defective because it is marketed for a purpose for which it was not intended. In all cases, defects in machinery can lead to amputations, electrocutions, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and deaths. Our lawyers consult with industrial and mechanical engineers and medical experts to learn the full effect of the injury on your life.
