Tips for avoiding household electrocution

by Administrator 18. November 2009 06:03

Many household appliances are plugged into electrical outlets. While these outlets provide a way to transmit electricity, they also carry a substantial amount of risk.

If people get too close to outlets or stick a metal object into the outlet, then the electrical current may pass from the outlet into the person's body. In some cases, this act will trigger the circuit breaker, which will shut down the electrical current in tha outlet. 

However, if the electrical current runs through a person's body for a significant amount of time, then it is likely that that person will incur serious injuries. 

To protect against such electrocution, people should exercise caution when plugging in and unplugging electrical devices. Also, for households that have children, parents should cover unused electrical outlets.

If you or anyone you know has been injured by an electrical outlet, contact the Racine personal injury lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C., at 800-242-2874.

The risks associated with go-karts

by Administrator 18. November 2009 05:55

Many people enjoy riding go-karts for the thrill and excitement. However, riders are typically exposed to many risks of injuries.

For instance, most go-karts do not include the same safety features as a typical car, although go-karts will travel at speeds greater than 30 miles per hour. Without these safety devices, many riders face a more serious risk of injury if the go-kart crashes or rolls over. 

If you or anyone you know has been injured in a go-kart accident, contact the Racine go-kart accident lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C., at 800-242-2874. 

The risks associated with sports stadiums

by Administrator 9. November 2009 07:39

Every weekend in the fall, thousands of people attend football games. While at these games, these fans assume that they are cheering in a safe and protected environment. 

However, stadiums are not free of all risks associated with possible injuries. For instance, stadiums often include many high beams, and if these beams collapsed and injured some fans, then the owners of the stadium would likely be held liable. 

Personal injury cases, however, may not apply to injuries caused by the sport being played. For instance, if a fan is injured by an errant baseball in a ballgame, then that fan may not be able to sue for damages. 

If you or anyone you know has been injured at a sporting event, contact the Racine personal injury lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C., at 800-242-2874.

The requirement for companies to put warnings on products

by Administrator 9. November 2009 07:31

Manufacturers are required to put warnings on their products. These warnings are intended to caution product users of any known and significant risks associated with the product. 

For instance, many house cleaning products contain warnings cautioning users not to ingest or inhale the product. If such warnings are not found on products with knowable dangers, then the product manufacturer or distributor may be liable for damages. 

If you or anyone you know has been injured by a product without proper warning, contact the Racine products liability lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier, S.C., at 800-242-2874.
