Hydraulic Bottle Jack Injury Lawyer

When you are stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire or need to change a tire with limited space, such as in a small garage or carport, a hydraulic bottle jack could be your tool of choice to elevate the vehicle to remove and replace the tire. These units are named for the bottle-like shape and will fit in a smaller space than other jack styles. In addition, they can lift a substantial amount and are reasonably priced. So many drivers opt for a hydraulic bottle jack in their vehicle rather than the old and more traditional scissor jack that could have come with the car when purchased from the manufacturer. You might even have a hydraulic bottle jack around the house for various construction projects requiring you to lift or support heavy objects.

But as most people will quickly agree, nothing is perfect. And when a hydraulic bottle jack fails, the result is often severe injuries due to a heavy or massive object suddenly falling. In some cases, the issues and failures were caused by improper use. However, it is more likely that the hydraulic bottle jack was defective, and the injuries suffered by the victim would be someone else’s responsibility.

Potential Defects And Issues That Cause A Hydraulic Bottle Jack Failure
You might think that a hydraulic bottle jack is a straightforward piece of equipment that should operate relatively reliably. And while that might be safe to assume part of the time, it will never be the case every time the unit is used. Consumers need to understand that many hydraulic bottle jack parts could be defective or fail. And there are several issues of improper uses that could contribute to the jack failing and you suffering a possibly severe injury.

Some of the more common issues encountered when operating a hydraulic bottle jack include:

• The handle used as a lever to elevate the hydraulic bottle jack breaks while raising the load
• The hydraulic fluid could be low due to a leak
• The hydraulic fluid filler could fail
• The handle pump could fail or be defective
• The release value that reduces the hydraulic pressure could fail
• The pump piston could be damaged or defective
• The cylinder seal could be damaged or defective
• The release valve could be damaged or has always been defective
• The body of the hydraulic bottle jack could be damaged or defective
• The unit might never have had enough hydraulic fluid installed to fully function or function properly
• There is air in the cylinder because it was not correctly filled with hydraulic fluid
• The rating for the hydraulic bottle jack is incorrect
• The bracket used to support the load is damaged or defective
• The base or support for the jack is damaged or defective

While some of these issues might be visible to an expert, the average person will not see or understand the impact of a small crack on the body of the hydraulic bottle jack when they purchase it or know that it should operate smoothly and without making a strange clicking sound. Instead, the user will assume that a new or relatively new and well cared for hydraulic bottle jack is safe to use. But sadly, that is not always the case. Don’t hesitate to contact the defective hydraulic bottle jack injury lawyers at Normandie Law Firm today to learn more about how to secure the compensation you need to cover your medical bills and other expenses and hardships caused by your defective hydraulic bottle jack injuries.

Who Can I Sue For My Defective Hydraulic Bottle Jack Injuries?
When you purchase a defective item, the manufacturer is typically held responsible for your injuries, losses, and expenses. However, it is also possible in some cases to sue the distributor or store where you purchased the defective hydraulic bottle jack if they knew it was faulty and failed to remove it from the shelf or stop selling the units they had in stock.

Your legal team at Normandie Law Firm has decades of combined expenses in helping clients determine who is to blame when they suffer injuries and losses from using a defective product. In addition, our staff is never intimidated by the prospect of suing a large corporation, the owners of a huge retail chain, or any other party that is deemed to be responsible for the injuries suffered by our client. So please rest assured. The team at Normandie Law Firm will work diligently to get you the settlement or verdict funds you need to pay the bills and expenses caused by your defective hydraulic jack injuries.

The Devastating Injuries Often Caused By A Defective Hydraulic Bottle Jack
Unfortunately, due to the most common use cases of a hydraulic bottle jack, the possible injuries suffered by the victim could be very severe. Many of them will alter the rest of the victim’s life, resulting in a permanent disability. These upsetting and costly injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Broken bones that often include a compound fracture
• Crushing injuries to the chest, lungs, heart, and other vital organs
• Damage to the airway
• Amputations
• Soft tissue and nerve damage
• Joint dislocations and damage to the connective tissues of the joints

In addition to these physical injuries, many victims of a failed hydraulic bottle jack injury suffer added emotional issues due to the incident. It is common for the victim to be trapped under the vehicle or heavy object that was being lifted. They must wait for emergency services to arrive to extricate them from under the object. And all the while, they are in severe pain and fear for their life. These events often result in nightmares, night terrors, anxiety, and depression as they work to recover from the physical and emotional trauma they suffered due to a defective hydraulic bottle jack.

How Much Is My Defective Hydraulic Bottle Jack Injury Lawsuit Worth?
Personal injury victims must understand that there is no pre-determined value for a lawsuit based on the injuries sustained or the cause of the injuries. Instead, these lawsuit values are based on the actual expenses and losses suffered by the victim due to their injuries. So, you will work with the experts at Normandie Law Firm to compile all the allowable costs to include in your claim. They will also explain any amounts that could be added for your pain and suffering or whether gross negligence was a factor in your injuries.

When To File Your Defective Hydraulic Bottle Jack Injury Lawsuit

However, if the claim is not filed with the court, you could lose the right to seek compensation for that event.
