Helping Construction Workers and Other Tool Accident Victims
Almost all the tools and equipment used in construction are very dangerous, even when they are functioning properly. And while product defects can cause serious injuries, the failure to provide proper warning or proper instructions can be equally dangerous. The Law Office of James J. Garvey III can protect your rights no matter what caused your accident. The firm has handled a wide range of complex defective product cases, including:
- Paper mills
- Unguarded saws
- Failure to warn
- Electric fans
- Electrical appliances
- Power tools and equipment
- Punch presses
- Farm equipment
- Welding tools
Many injured workers believe that they are limited to workers' compensation after a workplace injury, but that may not be the case. If a product manufacturer, designer or distributor is responsible for your injuries, you can file a separate personal injury claim for additional damages, including lost wages and medical expenses.
You may have more recovery options than you realize. From his offices in San Jose, attorney John J. Garvey III is ready to take on the negligent manufacturer responsible for your injury and help you get full compensation. Open during weekly business hours, he is also available for home and hospital visits. Contact him today to schedule a free initial consultation.
