Northern California Nail Gun Accident Lawyers
Nail Gun Accident
A common tool used within the construction industry, nail guns rapidly shoot out nails into almost any type of surface, including wood, steel and concrete. Although nail guns can save an incredible amount of time, their ability to fire a nail at velocities of up to 1,400 feet per second make them a very dangerous tool. Construction workers who are not shown how to use a nail gun properly or are given a defective nail gun to use are at great risk for injury or death. Nail gun accident injuries and deaths can occur in an almost any situation, but more commonly happen when:
- A construction worker accidentally fires a nail into the hand not controlling the nail gun
- A dropped nail gun fires nails into the air, penetrating a worker's head, limb or torso
- A nail explodes on impact with the working surface, propelling shrapnel like fragments into a worker's body
- A defective nail gun explodes in a construction worker's hand, inflicting severe injuries.
