A design defect, failure to warn, or a defect in the manufacturing process of Industrial Products can cause large commercial and construction vehicles to be unstable or unsafe to an unsuspecting operator. This has been known to occur in variety of large mechanical products that cause hundreds of preventable accidents each year.
Industrial products, such as forklifts, scaffolding, cranes, and other large equipment can be deadly if they are defective. Victims of industrial product defects are entitled to seek restitution from the manufacturers and sellers of these products.
There are three types of potential defects in industrial products:
A design defect. This type of defect affects all the products made from the faulty design. To prove this type of defect it is customary to compare the faulty design to other non-defective designs for the same product in that industry.
A manufacturing defect. This type of defect affects just one or a few of the same kind of product. This defect is proven by comparing the defective product to a non-defective product by the same manufacturer. For this reason, it is imperative to secure and preserve the defective product.
A defect in the instructions or a failure to warn about a dangerous aspect of the industrial product that results in injury.
