Consumers are expected to take certain precautions when using electronics. But there is nothing they can do to prevent a manufacturing defect that can cause products to overheat under normal use. When faulty electrical connections result in overheating, a fire can occur and cause injuries to many people inside a house or building.
Possible injuries include burns on the skin, damage to the respiratory system, brain injury, and other life-threatening conditions. This is why immediate medical care is so important, along with information about your rights from a dangerous product lawsuit attorney.
What Do I Do in the Event of an Accident?As someone that was injured by this product, your goal is to protect your health, as well as your right to monetary damages from the manufacturer. No matter what, make sure to seek medical attention immediately if you have serious injuries, as early intervention is the key to preventing life-threatening complications. In addition, please take the steps listed below:
- Ask witnesses (if any) for written statements or their contact information.
- Make sure to save the product that injured you as evidence instead of tossing it away or sending it back to the product maker.
- Regardless of the severity of your injuries, seek medical care within 48 hours; otherwise, it will be challenging to establish a link between the accident and your injuries.
- Save any evidence related to the accident, like your medical bills and proof of wages you lost because of your medical needs.
- Contact Goal Zero to report the accident, but turn down anything they offer as a remedy, like a replacement product, refund, or repair service. Saying yes implies that the manufacturer has compensated you, which can be a problem if you try to sue them later on.
