Defective Product Accident Questions

What are some examples of common defective product claims (ie:autos, tools and machinery, work products, etc.)

There are many types of defective product claims, however, the most common types of defective products that affect workers are defective power tools, defective machinery and defective automotive design. The main ways that machinery and tools can be defective are: 1) by having unguarded moving parts that can pull workers into them resulting in degloving injuries and/or amputations; 2) by having inadequate emergency stop mechanisms that would allow workers to prevent serious injury if clothing or hands are being pulled into a machine; 3) by having inadequate or missing warnings that would make workers aware of the dangers of the product they were using.

What items should they keep and how should they document their claim?

If you are injured by a product, do not throw it out, sell it or alter it in any way. It is evidence, and a failure to properly preserve it could result in problems in any resulting lawsuit.
