Personal injuries can be caused by consumer products and industrial machines. This is the field of “product liability.” We have represented clients who have been injured by machines while at the workplace. In Massachusetts, workers compensation law prevents an employee from suing his or her employer for negligence because of suffering personal injury from a machine during work. However it does not prevent the injured person from suing the manufacturer, distributor or seller of the machine if it is a dangerous and defective product. The law involving product liability says that the manufacturer, distributor or seller of a product must bear the financial burden of injury by a user where the product is not fit for its intended use and creates a danger. This may be shown by claiming inadequate instruction for its use or inadequate warnings as to any dangers in using the machine. These cases require that an expert be used to investigate and examine the product to determine whether its design or operation violates any industry standards and/or whether there is danger in the use of the machine and there are no warnings or precautions taken to protect the user.
