Your Gun Defect Attorney

Defective firearms are a cause of life changing injuries. Most gun owners pride themselves on safe firearm usage. They attend classes, they wear safety gear, they exercise trigger discipline. All the safety procedures in the world can only do so much when a defective gun is part of the equation. When a firearm misfires due to a manufacturing or design defect people can be catastrophically injured or worse. Firearm manufacturers and gun sellers are entirely responsible when injuries are caused by gun malfunctions and gun misfires. Our law firm has previously brought successful claims against gun manufacturers for defects. Just because a gun has the capability to be dangerous does not mean that manufacturers should be cutting corners on designing safe firearms. Massive manufacturers love to blame their customers for injuries arising out of malfunctioning firearms and defective ammunition, despite knowing full well that they are responsible.

Gun failures can take a variety of different forms. Our attorneys will be happy to help you evaluate what happened and determine whether you have a claim for compensation. Whether you or a loved one has been injured by a defective gun, we will do everything in our power to investigate the case, help you find treatment, and sue the parties that are responsible for what happened.

Firearm Malfunctions and Defective Ammunition Cause Misfires and Injuries

A modern-day firearm is the product of decades of innovation and intensive engineering. While most rifles, pistols, and shotguns are well-designed some have serious defects that can lead to terrible results. An injury arising out of a gun defect can be the fault of poor design, haphazard manufacturing, or even inadequate shipping practices that can damage the firearm. A gun malfunction might also be caused by defective ammunition—our attorneys are experienced untangling the different types of defect that may have caused your injury. Pistols, rifles, and shotguns are all designed differently, and each has different possible points of failure.

Our gun defect attorneys can help you with a range of firearm malfunctions and ammo defects including:

• Faulty gun safeties resulting in misfires
• Design or manufacturing issues causing shell ejection failures
• Ammo case head separations
• Pistol malfunctions
• Squib load injuries
• Hang fires or delayed discharge
• Slam fires
• Misfired bullets
• Barrel explosions
• Ammunition explosions
• Drop gun misfires (when a firearm discharges on impact or after being dropped)
• Ejection shrapnel
• Ejection port designs allowing hot shells to burn the user
• Overloaded ammo
• Receiver failures

Who is Responsible When You are Injured by a Firearm Defect or Faulty Ammunition?

When an injury involving a firearm has occurred determining who is a responsible party requires careful investigation. When a gun barrel explodes during firing, a pistol misfires, or an ejection port sprays someone with shrapnel from a shell casing, it is obvious something went wrong. Figuring out the true cause takes work. While every situation is different, our lawyers are prepared to find out who is responsible for your injuries or the death of a loved one caused by a tragic gun defect. Our attorneys work to investigate the incident and then will pursue litigation against the responsible parties. One of the most obvious targets is the gun or ammo manufacturer, whether the defect is the result of issues in design or poor standards in manufacturing they will be held responsible. In other situations, the retailer or seller of the gun is liable, we have seen cases where retailers knowingly sell defective guns and ammunition. If you have been injured at a shooting range or by a rental firearm, the business itself may be liable if they were negligent in the maintenance of the premises or the firearm involved. Whatever has happened to cause your injuries, give us a call and we will evaluate your claim for free.
