Defective Deer Stands

Deer hunters often spend long hours waiting in one place for the perfect buck to walk out in front of them. And while many hunters do choose to camouflage themselves behind bushes or trees while waiting, others choose to set up deer stands so they can be shielded from the elements high off the ground. Unfortunately, deer stands are the cause of many hunting injuries every year from broken bones to serious head, neck, or back injuries.

When deer stand manufactures make mistakes in the building and production of their products, the consequences can be devastating. If you have been injured in an accident caused by a defective deer blind, contact the Green Bay personal injury lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. today at 800-242-2874 to discuss your legal options.

Deer Stand Safety

From faulty latches and locks to weakened platforms, poorly manufactured deer stands can break or collapse, sending the hunter on a free fall from several feet up in the air. To increase your safety in a deer stand, be sure to:

• Test out how much weight the deer stand can hold before hunting.
• Test latches and locks to make sure they are working before climbing inside and be sure to always use them properly.
• Never mix hunting with alcohol consumption
• Use the buddy system while hunting. This will make sure someone else is there to help you in the event of a fall.

Deer stand falls resulting from product defects could put you out of work for weeks at a time and may also require extensive medical procedures. You need financial compensation to help you in this trying time.
