Workers within the construction business put trust in the equipment that they use. They trust it to work safely and effectively as stated to them by the manufacturers. If the equipment doesn’t work correctly, then the worker can be placed in a life threatening situation.

If you have been injured while using defective construction equipment, it is your right to collect monetary damages from the parties responsible. Those responsible parties include the manufacturer who produced it, the company who maintained it, the company who sold it to you, and the employer who may have ignored issues with the equipment. With so many responsible parties, you have to have a Minneapolis construction equipment defect lawyer who is experienced and who knows how the equipment manufacturers and other companies involved will defend themselves.

Common types Of Construction Site Accidents

Building collapse, roof accidents, faulty scaffolding, cranes that malfunction, and equipment that simply fails to work as specified are the common types of accidents that occur at construction sites due to defective equipment. Perhaps a piece comes loose or the device works at an improper speed. There are so many defects that can occur because there are so many moving parts to a piece of machinery. Other types of accidents include:

• Trench collapse
• Electric shock
• Forklift defects
• Lack of protective gear or protective gear malfunction
• Jackhammer malfunction
• Backhoe malfunction

Of course, the list can go on and on, depending upon the type of construction site and the equipment that is being used.

More Than Workers’ Compensation

Minnesota usually does not allow the construction worker to sue their employer if workers’ compensation benefits are received. However, a construction worker has a great chance of success because a construction site usually has more than one contractor working on the job. One or more of these contractors could be held liable, depending upon the circumstances surrounding the incident and the liability insurance that is present.

We do understand that having to take legal action after an accident involving a construction equipment defect can be very difficult for you and for your family. Fortunately, you will be working with a Minnesota construction equipment defect lawyer with the resources, training, and experience to handle every detail of your case. It is your right to seek out compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress.

An aviation accident is an accident that takes place under unique circumstances. For one, you are 30,000 feet above ground. Secondly, you are usually not the one in control of the airplane, and thus you have little control of what happens. Putting your life in the hands of a professional pilot and an experienced grounds crew can be nerve racking, and many people choose not to fly because of the risks. While flying is considered one of the safest modes of transportation, it can still be scary — especially as if there is an aviation accident. The results of which are often life altering or fatal.

Airplane and Helicopter Accidents

When you hear of a helicopter or airplane accident, it often ends with death. This is because of the sheer impact and strength of these machines, as well as the unique mode of travel where you are usually more than six miles above ground. Airplane accidents can happen for a number of reasons including:

• mechanical defects with the machine;
• inadequate servicing and maintenance by the mechanic staff;
• poor driving and navigating by the pilot;
• a loss of control over the machine;
• extreme weather conditions; and
• airplane and helicopter collisions.

How We Can Help

Whether you have been injured or you are inquiring on behalf of a family member’s serious injury or death, you have the legal right to compensation in almost all instances. We can help you gain the financial compensation to get your life back on track after a serious aviation injury including compensation for:

• unpaid medical expenses;
• medical equipment for around the house and in the car;
• rehabilitation and recovery;
• therapy sessions for yourself and your family;
• a loss of income and protected income;
• a loss of benefits; and
• a loss of quality of life.

We have helped families gain a better understanding of what happens after a serious aviation accident that results in a life-changing injury or death. Often, if you do survive a plane crash, you will be left with permanent disability and damage to areas such as your spine, brain or limbs. You may be unable to walk ahead; you may need to have constant home care; or you may be unable to work. This impacts more than just the person injured – it impacts their entire family, as well.

Commercial airlines have a legal responsibility to protect their passengers. There are laws in place, such as no alcohol law for pilots, and certain regulations for mechanics and grounds crew. If an airplane is deemed unsafe, under no circumstances should it be able to fly. In the event of an aviation accident, it is often due to utter negligence of the rules and regulations by the commercial airline company.

This is not acceptable. At TSR Injury Law Firm, we offer our tenacity and our experience in airplane crash cases. We are Minneapolis personal injury lawyers that can, and will, help you win your case. Call (612) TSR-TIME for a free initial consultation about your case or submit our free consultation form.

Product liability is an area of U.S. law under which manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and retailers can be held responsible and financially accountable for any faulty or defective products they release to the public. This area of the law covers individuals who may be injured by these defective products so that they will not have to pay for their injuries out of their own pockets.

Claims Associated with Product Liability

There are a number of different claims associated with product liability. The most well known are claims of negligence and strict liability.

Each of these claims has different requirements that must be met in order to prove guilt on the part of the manufacturer, seller, distributor, or retailer. Usually, a products liability claim is based on one of the following:

• A design defect
• A manufacturing defect
• A failure to warn consumers (of some danger)

Interestingly, claims (especially based on a failure to warn) can succeed even if the consumer uses the product incorrectly as long as the incorrect usage could have been foreseen by the manufacturer or other party.

Product Liability: Strict Liability vs. Negligence

Most product liability cases are not based on issues of negligence, but rather, on something known as strict liability. To understand the difference between these two, let’s first examine the qualities of negligence.

In order to prove negligence, one must show that:

• There was some duty owed by the manufacturer (or other party)
• There was a breach of this duty
• An injury occurred
• The injury was directly caused by the breach mentioned above

Thus, a manufacturer or other party who failed to perform their job appropriately will be held responsible for any defective products that resulted from the oversight.

However, as mentioned above, most product liability claims are not based on negligence but on strict liability. What this means is that the manufacturer (or other party) is held responsible for defective or faulty products even if they did not act in a negligent manner. This way, a consumer can recover damages for an injury even if unable to prove that there was a preventable error in the manufacturing process.

People rely on elevators and escalators whenever they do not want to take the stairs. In some buildings, taking the elevator is really the only option to get to an office or apartment. Elevators, however, do have a history of injuring people. Fortunately for the millions that take elevators on a daily basis, the most commonly injured people are the individuals who are repairing the elevator.

Common causes of injury to passengers include:

• Not opening level with the floor
• Getting stuck
• Sudden increases or decreases in speed
• Missing the floor of a building
• Falling or plummeting down the elevator shaft

Of the above causes of injuries, all are fairly rare. Other elevator accidents can be caused by:

• Poorly positioned elevator floors causing people to trip on an uneven surface
• Elevator doors opening onto an open shaft
• Being trapped in a closing door
• Accessible elevator shafts

These injuries are also uncommon. Despite the rarity of elevator injuries, on a yearly basis, there are 30 fatalities caused by an elevator in some way. In addition to the 30 fatalities, more than 10,000 people are injured on an annual basis.

In an effort to protect individuals, most states and cities have enacted regulations that cover the construction, operation, and maintenance of elevators. However, it is not uncommon for buildings not to comply with the various regulations.
