Leading California Defective Equipment and Dangerous Machinery Lawyers

Consumers, heavy equipment operators, machinery operators, construction workers, loggers, and other plaintiffs routinely suffer catastrophic injury or wrongful death as a result of using products and equipment that are unsafe because of defective design, engineering, or manufacture; because of inadequate or misleading labels, instructions, or warnings; or because of inadequate maintenance.

Defective equipment and dangerous machinery lawyers at Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP, have a long record of successfully representing workers and their family members in cases of severe broken bones and orthopedic injuries, crushed limbs and traumatic amputations, severe burnsspinal cord injuries , brain injuries, paralysis, loss of cognitive functioning, and wrongful death.

Pipe workersWe represent plaintiffs injured by defective equipment including punch presses, printing presses, abrasive grinders, table saws and circular saws, stud guns and nail guns, industrial machinery, logging equipment, meat grinders, and slicers.

We have the experience and the resources to effectively handle complex and expensive cases involving highly technical issues related to structural engineering, metallurgy, biomechanics, and human factors. Our attorneys have earned a national reputation for excellence for our work on products liability cases . We seek full and fair compensation for all damages and losses for plaintiffs and family members, including immediate and future medical care, rehabilitation services, disability coverage, lost wages, lost earning potential, pain and suffering, and funeral expenses.

Throughout our personal injury practice, we choose our cases carefully. We devote our full personal attention and our firm’s resources to thorough and systematic case preparation and presentation designed to effectively communicate complex material to a jury. We use electronic applications and computer technology for efficient communication, to highlight discrepancies in testimony, and to help clarify complex issues.

While improved product safety laws have made consumers, workers, and families safer, regulation of products and manufacturers remains sparse, and damage awards for injuries caused by defects provide powerful financial incentives for eliminating potential dangers.
