Power tools are a common part of our everyday lives. Many Americans use them regularly at work or in the home. Unfortunately these tools, including power drills, grinders, buffers, power sanders, power saws, jigsaws and many others, can be extremely dangerous and even deadly. Each year the Consumer Product Safety Commission receives reports of approximately 400,000 emergency room visits resulting from power tool accidents. Power tools are also responsible for hundreds of deaths annually. Even when operators do everything right, power tools can cause amputations, loss of eyesight, severe lacerations, broken bones, burns, electrocution and other disabling injuries. Often these devastating accidents are due to tool defects or a lack of appropriate operating instructions or warnings. From defective safety guards to loose blades to electrical malfunctions and safety shut-off failures, power tool defects can and do injure many unsuspecting users.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a power tool, it is crucial to consult with an experienced product liability lawyer as soon as possible. Our skilled trial lawyers can help you secure all of the compensation to which you may be entitled. This may include compensation for pain and suffering, financial loss, emotional distress and past, current and future medical expenses. In some cases, you may also be entitled to punitive damages for another party’s wrongdoing. Our dedicated attorneys can help you deal with your insurance company, as well as the insurer of the other party or parties. The insurance companies have lawyers working hard to minimize their payouts; you need a lawyer who will work just as hard for you.
