Garage Door Malfunction
When a garage door opener malfunctions, grave injuries can result. When the garage door closes on an arm or a leg or even on your automobile, you should consult a Rhode Island personal injury lawyer to discuss the viability of a case against the manufacturer or the installation company. Automatic garage openers have been standard on many American Garage doors since they were invented in 1926. Since 1974, between 80 and 90 cases of death or brain damage have been reported due to garage door malfunction. Children are at particular risk since they may be unable to get away from a closing door in time to prevent injury.
