Winter is almost here and we will soon be using our snowblowers to clear our driveways and sidewalks. While these machines make our lives easier, they can be very dangerous. Researchers at North Dakota State University have outlined many of the dangers which give rise to snowblower injuries. (See NDSU findings). Most snowblower accidents result in debilitating injuries.

Snowblowers, like other machines, must be manufactured and sold in a condition that is reasonably safe for foreseeable uses. If potentially dangerous conditions cannot be eliminated from the design of the machine, the manufacturer must adequately warn of the condition. Most product liability cases involve either inadequate designs or inadequate warnings. Other types of product liability cases involve material failure and inadequate testing.

At Hurley McKenna & Mertz, we would prefer that you be careful and never encounter a dangerous product. Unfortunately, even careful users are injured by dangerous products. I have represented many victims of dangerous products and have obtained millions of dollars for my clients. If you or someone you know has been injured by a dangerous product please call Hurley McKenna & Mertz for a free consultation.
