New York Defective Electrical Product Injury Lawyers

NY Defective Product Attorneys

Have you or a family member suffered a severe injury because an electrical product you purchased was defective in some way?

The types of injuries caused by defective products varies, but the injuries sustained can be extremely serious. For example:

• Defective electrical equipment, such as space heaters and hair dryers can cause fires which result in serious burn injuries or death.
• Defective power equipment, such as lawnmowers, snow blowers, power saws and other cutting tools can result in amputations.
• Electric blankets or other consumer appliances can malfunction and start fires.
• Defective fire alarms can fail to function when needed.
• Defectively designed safety devices in ovens and other gas cooking devices can cause serious injuries.

Electrical burns are typically caused from natural causes, such as lightning, but are also frequently caused from defective electrical wiring, electrical outlets, or defective electrical products or tools. If you have been injured by an electrical burn, douse the area with water to cool and seek immediate medical attention at the closest burn center or hospital. If you see someone unconscious from an electrical burn, make sure they are not in contact with the cause of the electrical shock, call 911, and perform CPR until help arrives.

If you have suffered serious or catastrophic injury due to a defective product, you have the right to claim compensation for your losses and suffering.

Products liability lawsuits generally involve battles with major corporations. Together with their insurance companies, these powerful forces work to minimize the compensation they provide, even when they are at fault.
