The Dangers Associated with Car Lifts

Although car lifts can be great tools for mechanics and car-lovers, alike, they can potentially be very dangerous. Some issues that car lifts seem to have include the following:

• They are difficult to assemble
• They have poor assembly instructions
• They have poor-quality parts
• They flex under weight

In general, car lifts have a number of safety features to ensure that the vehicle being lifted does not slip or that the lift does not collapse while lifting the vehicle.

Even if companies claim that they products are safe for consumer use, incidents can happen. Poor assembly instructions, poor-quality parts, a lack of warnings, and many other factors can lead to incidents. Loaded car lifts can suddenly collapse and significantly hurt anyone who is below or near the lift.

Victims could suffer crushing injuries, severed limbs, crushed bones, burns, lacerations, head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and many other injuries. Without a doubt, injuries can potentially be fatal. Regardless of the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a car lift incident, you might have grounds to sue.

Your Right to Sue Based on Product Liability

If you or a member of your family suffered har associated with a defective product, you might have the right 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; more specifically, they have the duty to ensure that their products are completely safe for their consumers to use. They must test and inspect their products thoroughly (before releasing them to the public) to be able to identify and address any hazards present. If they fail to do this, they can negligently release defective products to the public and contribute to incidents. The incidents can lead to harm to innocent consumers.

Based on the concept of product liability, companies could be held accountable for any harm that consumers suffer due to defective products. What does this mean? If you or a member of your family suffered harm associated with a defective product, you could sue – you could file an injury claim or a wrongful death claim against the company. If you are interested in learning more about your right to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a car lift incident, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm at your earliest convenience.

File Your Claim Quickly

All claims are subject to a deadline – established by the statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to pursue their claims. If claimants do not file their claims within the time allowed by the statute of limitations, they could lose their right to sue entirely. How long do you have to pursue your claim? In California, product liability claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants will only have a total of two years to file their claims. It is possible for exceptions to the statute of limitations to apply, however. Exceptions are based on the specific details surrounding your claim. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the time that you have to file your defective product injury claim, contact us today.
