Who is Liable for Equipment Failure?

California Sports & Recreational Product Defect Lawyer

Who Can Be Held Financially Liable for Equipment Failure?

Product Defects Are the Responsibility of Manufacturers and Retailers

Manufacturers must ensure that their product is safe for the customers who purchase it. That is especially important when the item is used for sports and recreational activities where there may be risk of injury. Manufacturers must carefully test and inspect every product that leaves their factory.

At the San Francisco law office of Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP, our personal injury attorneys are experienced in handling complex serious injury cases resulting from defective and dangerous products. Our job is to hold the manufacturer accountable for injuries you or a family member needlessly suffered.

Signing a Release Doesn't Mean You Have Signed Away Your Rights

Before you participated in a sport or recreational activity, you may have signed a waiver or release of liability. However, if a faulty binding on a ski, a defective bike helmet, or poorly designed ATV causes an accident with injuries, the waiver does not apply. You can pursue legal action against the manufacturer or any other responsible party.

Do Not Destroy or Throw Away the Product

While it's understandable that you are angry and never want to see the broken equipment that has caused your family so much pain, it's extremely important that you do not dispose of it, damage it, or destroy it.

Take pictures of the defective product and then set it aside. We will bring top-notch experts in to inspect it in order to determine if there was a defect that caused the accident or contributed to the injury. The product may be the key to building an effective product liability case for your financial recovery.
