This is not a valid claim because the plaintiffs could have take the necessary actions to prevent his injuries.

“Based on the injury data obtained in the 2007 and 2008 CPSC special study, our staff’s
injury cost model projected that consumers suffered approximately 67,300 medically treated blade contact injuries annually in 2007 and 2008- with an associated injury cost of $2.36 billion dollars in each of those two years”

News Reporter
Clint DeBoer states in his article,” Bosch Tools Dragged Into SawStop-Centric Lawsuit,”The real controversy comes in that legislation like this would set a precedent that would mandate any technology that increases the safety of a dangerous power tool.
Legislator will agree to have safer tools, which will decrease dangerous injuries.
This a a consequential claim because legislator should made it mandatory for manufacturers to have safer products.
Government
I don’t think you interpreted the claim correctly, Lashawn. “The frequency and severity of the injuries demanded action” means someone quoted here wants to make safer saws mandatory.
Customer
Certainly the injuries have changed lives. But why do you blame the injuries on “improper use”? Is that how accidents happen? Or are the saws inherently unsafe?
Industry
Showed “compassion” you mean? I don’t know who said this, but I guarantee you it wasn’t the official position of the saw-making industry.
Safety
I’ll take your word for it.
Plaintiffs
The claim is consequential, yes, but NOT “because the company was against safer technology.” That’s an entirely different claim. Yes, the plaintiffs could have bought a safer saw to prevent the injuries. And that’s yet ANOTHER entirely different claim.
Lawyers
The lawyer was right. You’re wrong. Dozens, not thousands, of lawsuits. It’s a consequential claim. And yes, it is a valid claim. It states the actual facts quite correctly.
Manufacturers
No, it doesn’t cost manufacturers anything. It costs saw users plenty.
News
It’s hard to tell from your summary whether the claim is about legislation or a court judgment, but the claim, if I understand it, seems sound, that a judgment for the plaintiff would make sawmakers liable for injuries to their customers of non-SawStop table saws. As for the mandate, that would require legislation, not a court judgment. The material is not clear on that question.
