Types of Ladder Defects
Although some people may not realize it, ladders can be very dangerous pieces of equipment. If a ladder is faulty, a serious accident could occur that results in a loss of life. Ladders could be defective due to:
- Defective rungs
- Damaged or faulty gripping feet
- Cracks in the rails
- Incorrect assembly instructions
Manufacturers have an obligation to ensure that the ladders they produce are safe for use by consumers. Sadly, some manufacturers fail to do so. Losing a loved one because of a defective ladder can cause tremendous economic hardship on the surviving relatives, making it imperative for family members to take appropriate legal action against the negligent manufacturer.
