We understand this can be a sensitive subject for many; one where many individuals do not want to think about. However injuries to the male reproductive system are more prevalent that many believe. According to a recent article by the Journal of Urology approximately 140,000 men went to the emergency room because of blunt trauma to their reproductive system including the genitals, penis, and urinary tract system between 2002 and 2010. This amounts to more than 16,000 injuries each year.

Common Causes of Penile and Genital Injuries:

• Bicycle accidents – crushed genitals
• Motor Vehicle accidents – including motorcycle and truck collisions
• Acts of violence – assault and battery, gunshot wounds
• Slip and fall accidents – particularity in bathrooms
• Sports related accidents – often caused by defective sporting equipment

Injuries Causes by Defective Sporting Equipment: A large percentage of penile and genital crush injuries are caused by defective sporting equipment. Essentially there are three distinct causes of action available for victims of serious injuries due to a defective product.

1. Defect in the products initial design
2. Defect in the manufacturing process
3. Labeling defect – otherwise referred to failure to properly warn of common dangers associated with the product use.
