If you are a construction worker who was injured on the job by a defective tool or defective piece of equipment or machinery, you may be entitled to pursue a product liability claim against the designer, manufacturer, or retailer of the tool/equipment/machine that injured you. You may pursue a product liability claim even if you are receiving workers’ compensation benefits from your employer; however, your employer or its workers’ compensation insurer may be entitled to be reimbursed for any workers’ comp benefits they have paid from any recovery you obtain in a defective product claim.
