You may be entitled to compensation. Our lawyers represent construction workers, including undocumented workers, who are injured in construction activities in the New York City area.
Determining the Cause of Nail Gun Injuries
Nail gun injuries can result from product defects, unsafe modifications to the tool, a lack of training, or other causes. Prompt investigation of the accident and the tool in question is needed to identify all parties who may be liable for your injury.
Here are examples of the most common causes of nail gun injuries:
- Accidental discharge due to a malfunctioning safety mechanism
- Deliberate disabling of a safety mechanism
- Double fires or misfires caused by a product defect
- Ricochets caused by a nail-striking metal or a hard surface
- A nail going all the way through the wood
- A nail missing the intended strike area
- Operating a nail gun without eye protection
Common injuries include nail penetration or ricochet wounds in hands, legs, feet, heads, eyes, or other areas of the body. Firm founder Richard M. Kenny worked in construction before he became a lawyer. As a result, he understands the job safety issues workers face.
