Almost all products include instructions and warnings. These instructions and warnings are meant to inform users and to protect them against dangerous uses. 

However, not all products contain sufficient instructions or warnings. Even if the product is generally safe, a consumer may suffer injuries if it does not come with sufficient instructions. 

When a consumer suffers an injury and believes that the injury could have been avoided with sufficient instructions, then that consumer may have cause for filing products liability lawsuit.

If you or anyone you know has been injured using a product with insufficient instructions or warnings, contact the Austin products liability lawyers of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 512-372-8100.

Manufacturers are required to foresee any reasonable uses of their product and provide precautions against such uses. For instance, for a can opener, a manufacturer should expect the opener to be used on many different types of cans.

However, products are not always used for their intended use. For instance, the can opener could be used to cut open fruit. If it were used in this way and the user was injured, then the manufacturer may not be liable. 

The liability of the manufacturer for the injuries will depend on whether using the can opener was a reasonable use. That determination will typically be up to a jury or abitration judge.

Many machines used on construction sites contain some type of hydraulic system. These systems are indispensable in many machines because they allow forces to be transmitted throughout the machine. 

Hydraulic systems work by applying a force that is transmitted to another force via an incompressible fluid. This method of transmission is useful for a number of reasons.

One, because the transmission occurs through pipe network, it can be easily transferred in complex systems. And two, by adjusting the length and volume of the pipes, the force can be multiplied. In other words, no extra force needs to be initially applied in order to generate a greater force in the output. 

Hydraulic systems, however, can be dangerous if they are not designed properly. For instance, if a hydraulic system has an air bubble, it may not function properly and lead to a complete system failure. 

If you or anyone you know has been injured while operating a machine with a defective hydraulic system, contact the Austin products liability lawyers of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 513-372-8100.

Propane tanks are a useful source for heating in many areas where common energy sources do not exist. However, given its combustible nature, propane tanks pose a risk of injury to all users. 

While propane tank manufacturers design the tanks with many safety devices, the safety devices do not prevent all injuries. For instance, if the pressure valve on the tank is not working correctly, then a propane tank user may be unaware when the pressure reaches too high of a level. If this occurs, the propane tank might explode, causing serious injury or even death to its user. 

If you have been injured in a propane tank accident, contact the Austin personal injury lawyers of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 877-948-4842.
