When ladder manufacturers need to be held accountable

Ladder manufacturers know they are creating a high-risk product and often have senior engineers dedicated solely to defending the company’s products in court. These engineers are essentially professional witnesses who are highly experienced in circumventing questions about the safety of their products. Their agenda is to avoid taking responsibility for the injuries you or your loved one sustained.

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) product standards for ladders are, in essence, written by and for those in the ladder industry. Ladders in new condition undergo performance testing in a factory setting to establish standards, but these tests provide no indication of how the product will hold up in real usage or over time.

Our defective ladder lawyers know how to look beyond just the applicable ANSI standards in analyzing potential defects in product design and to hold the manufacturer accountable for flaws. Holding ladder companies accountable in this way not only helps individual clients, but also helps the general public by leading to better ladder design and regulation by the industry, and safer use by consumers.
