Harness Malfunction Attorney

These harnesses, whether they are being used for hiking or for climbing, are used for safety – specifically to prevent falls. Although climbing obviously involves elevation and high altitude, hiking can also require harnesses for steep or elevated terrain. If a harness fails, then users could suffer critical falls.

Although every fall is different, some of the injuries that users could possibly experience could include traumatic brain injuries, skull fractures, concussions, neck injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, dislocations, crushing injuries, severed limbs, pelvic injuries, hip injuries, sprains and strains, lacerations and more. In addition, falls can leave victims unconscious or stranded, which could result in heat exposure, dehydration, and more.

These falls can lead to temporary or permanent disability, including paralysis. Of course, these incidents can also be fatal.

Yes – you could have the right to file a lawsuit. You could pursue claims for injuries or for wrongful death. You could have the right to file your claim based on the concept of product liability of negligence (based on whether the incident was caused by a defective product or by the negligence of company).

For instance, if the incident was caused by a defective harness, then you would have the right to file a claim against the negligent product manufacturer. This is based on product liability, which states that product manufacturers have a duty to ensure that their products are free of any hazards or dangerous conditions present. When these manufacturers fail to identify and address defects present in design, labeling, or manufacturing, incidents can occur – and the product manufacturer could be liable for all resulting harm.

If the incident was caused by the negligence of a hiking guide company, that is, if the company provided a defective or unsafe hiking harness, then they can be liable for any harm that occurs. These hiking guide companies, although they often require their customers to release liability, still have a duty to keep their customers safe – and provide them with equipment that is safe to be used.

Is it possible for both the manufacturer and the hiking tour company to be liable? Yes, depending on the circumstances. For example, if the manufacturer issued a recall and the company knew that the product was defective but continued to provide it to hikers/climbers, then both entities could be at fault.
