Power Tool Accidents
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reported that nearly 961,000 people needed medical treatment for power tool-related injuries in a single year in the United States. About three percent – or 28,830 – of those injured victims needed to be hospitalized for further treatment. There is no doubt that power tool injuries can be severe and costly.
Many power tools can lead to accidents, including:
- Chainsaw
- Drills
- Table saws
- Circular saw
- Nail guns
- Miter saw
- Grinders
- Sanders
- Heat guns
All of the above can malfunction and result in potentially life-changing injuries, such as:
- Lacerations
- Puncture wounds
- Torn soft tissue
- Fractures
- Amputations
- Burns
Most power tool injuries need immediate medical attention, as well as ongoing treatment. The bills add up quickly, and your financial stress can increase if your injury keeps you out of work for a period of time while you recover. It is important to explore your legal rights with an experienced power tool injury lawyer.
Possible Claims for Power Tool Injuries
If your power tool accident happened at work, you will likely qualify for workers’ compensation benefits that can cover medical expenses and part of your lost wages. However, workers’ compensation usually does not cover all of your injury-related losses, such as your full amount of lost earnings, pain and suffering, or permanent disfigurement or disability.
To ensure you receive the maximum compensation that you deserve, you should have an attorney evaluate your rights to file injury claims against other parties. For example, if a power tool malfunctioned because of an inherent defect, the manufacturer that made and sold the defective power tool should be liable for the injuries and losses that resulted. Defective product claims against large companies can be challenging, but the right law firm will have the experience and resources to stand up to corporations and their insurance companies on behalf of injury victims.
