Cross-Screening In Action
What seemed like a standard auto accident case was anything but. Research uncovered that the accident was due to faulty design and construction, which ultimately caused the vehicle to flip over and catch fire, tragically killing six of its passengers.
While the initial projected recovery was $100,000, the identification of a product liability case may catapult that sum into over 8 figures.
Cross-screening enables you to discover many hidden cases across different case types.
Below are some examples of additional cases that are commonly found when developing workers’ compensation and product liability cases.
More Than One Case To Me
Depending on what caused the injury, a workers’ compensation case could also be a product liability, auto accident, or premises liability case.
Even if it happened while they were working, it could be more than a workers’ compensation case. Diving deeper into all the parties liable for the injury in question can result in much better-than-expected outcomes for clients.
Injuries caused by an auto accident with a company vehicle can be both an auto accident case and a workers’ compensation case. A slip and fall on a non-company property that occurred while working could be a workers’ compensation case and a premises liability case.
Delivery workers, who are only rising in numbers, may have both a premises liability and workers’ compensation case if they are bitten by a dog while attempting to deliver that tenth Amazon Prime order of the day. When a product doesn’t work as it’s supposed to, causing injury on the job, the manufacturer and the client’s employer may both be liable.
If It Broke, The Manufacturer Should Have Prevented It
Depending on what caused the injury, an auto accident, fire, premises liability, or general injury case may also be a product liability case.
If there was a product involved, there just might be a product liability case. No matter the type of injury or where it occurred, a faulty product could cause an accident or make it worse.
While some auto accidents are caused by poor driving conditions or human error, there are many instances in which a vehicle manufacturer may be liable for the extent of the injury. Failing airbags, breaks, or seatbelts, fire caused by defective wiring, or the vehicle flipping over due to poor design, are all indicators that the manufacturer may be at fault.
When there is a fire claim, an accident on a premises, or a general injury case, a search for the cause may bring up a strong product liability case. Damaged or defective construction materials, bad design, and failed everyday products such as ladders, wheelchairs, tools, and blow dryers are all potential for a better result for your client.
