Los cascos y cascos protectores defectuosos y dañados pueden causar lesiones cerebrales graves

Helmets are designed to protect a wearers head from a traumatic brain injury.  They are designed to absorb the impact of an accident and maintain their structure thus preventing greater harm to the brain.  There are many different types of helmets that are used by us every day including,

• Motorcycle Helmets
• Firemen and Police helmets
• Football and other sports related helmets
• Bicycle helmets
• Construction site helmets; hard hats
• Welding Protective helmets
• Equestrian horse riding helmets
• Miner helmets

Unfortunately many helmets manufacture helmets which fail to protect a victim head because of wither a defective design or a defect in the manufacturing process.  If you have sustained injures as a result of a defective helmet contact our Los Angeles Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys. What should I do after a Motorcycle Accident if I believe my helmet was defective?

1. Cuida siempre de tu bienestar: Si se lesiona, busque atención médica lo antes posible. Cuanto antes acuda al médico, mayores serán las posibilidades de recuperación.
2. Documente dónde estaba el casco con respecto a dónde se encontraba usted después del accidente. Si tienes una cámara, haz fotos de la colocación del casco.
3. Si el casco se ha abierto, haz fotos y recoge los trozos caídos.
4. No destruya ni tire su casco.
5. Do not alter the helmet in any way including the helmet buckle
6. Si hay testigos, intente obtener su información, incluidos sus nombres y direcciones.
7. Conserve todos sus historiales médicos
8. No hable con un perito del seguro hasta que haya hablado con un abogado especializado en lesiones personales.

Construction site hardhat defects: Hardhats must meet specific OSHA guidelines for construction site employees. Hard hats require a hard outer shell as well protective shock absorbing lining.  Hardhats are divided into different classes that must meet specific safety criteria.

• Class A Hardhats: These are required for general services providing adequate but limited protection. Such hardhats are used in mining operations, the lumber industry, and manufacturing.
• Class B Hardhats: Used by electricians providing protection against electrical shock.  Class B hardhats also provide protection against falling objects.
•  Class C hardhats: Lightweight protective helmets providing only limited protection. Are only protective against a limited range of accidents.

Hardhats can experience wear and tear as well as manufacturing defects.  If defects or wear and tear are found hardhats should be disposes and replaced.  Often employers deny replacement hardhats to employees resulting unsafe work environments and serious head trauma injuries.
