The Dangers Associated with Scissor Lifts

There are a number of risks associated with scissor car lifts. For instance, scissor lifts can come with little to no assembly instructions or simply be very difficult to follow; they could also lack the necessary warnings throughout. In addition, the material could be poor quality which could possibly result in the lift flexing under the weight of the vehicles. In general, car lifts, including scissor car lifts, have a number of built-in safety features (including locking features and anti-slip features); however, these features could be inefficient.

Incidents can happen. Incidents involving car scissor lifts can be devastating. Unfortunately, these incidents can occur while a vehicle is loaded on the lift. The lift can suddenly collapse, dropping the vehicle. Anyone who is standing below the vehicle or in the immediate area surrounding the car lift could potentially suffer harm. Victims could suffer some of the following injuries: head injuries, traumatic brain injury, crushing injuries, severed limbs, burns, crushed bones, spinal cord injuries, and lacerations, for example. Without a doubt, these injuries can cause permanent, debilitating harm; these injuries could also be fatal.

Do You Have the Right to Sue?

Can you sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered due to a defective scissor lift? Based on the details surrounding the incident, you might have grounds to sue; more specifically, you might have the right to sue based on the concept of product liability. Based on product liability, all companies owe their consumers a duty of care. That is, companies have the duty to ensure that all their products are safe for their consumers to use. Because of this duty of care owed to consumers, companies must test and inspect their products thoroughly to be able to test and inspect their products; this allows them to identify and address any of the hazards present in the products. Although companies have this duty of care, they could breach their duty of care and fail to ensure that their products are safe prior to making them available to the public. The breached duty of care can result in incidents, which can harm consumers.

Whenever a breached duty of care leads to injuries to consumers, companies could be held liable for the harm resulting from their defective products. In other words, companies could be sued. That is, if you or a member of your family suffered harm associated, you could file a product liability claim.
