Table Saw Accident Victims May Qualify to File a Lawsuit and Seek
Settlement Compensation
"Despite safety technology that could prevent many of the most serious
table saw injuries, the manufacturers of these tools have failed to equip
them with their products. Table saw users who suffered amputations,
lacerations, avulsions, or other injuries may be eligible to file a
lawsuit against the table saw manufacturer and receive compensation."
"Since 2003, manufacturers of table saws have had access to
flesh-detection technology called SawStop, which would prevent amputations
and injuries to human flesh. However, these companies have chosen not to
add the technology to their machinery. The reason? Adding this vital
safety feature might increase the expense of production ? a cost they
would ultimately pass on to the consumer. What manufacturers don?t seem to
consider is that the cost of making safer tools might still be less than
money spent in table saw injury lawsuits."
