Defective Sporting Goods
Sporting goods can include any equipment used for sports such as clubs, racquets, bats, balls, and pucks, as well as important protective equipment like helmets, masks, pads, and other gear that may be used to shield the player from injury. Individuals involved in sports depend on the products they buy to be free from defect and perform up to the standards promised by the manufacturer.
The use of products that are defective, incorrectly assembled, or made from faulty material may result in serious injury or death. If you or a loved one has been injured due to a defective sporting good, contact a Pennsylvania workers compensation lawyer of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511.
