The Role that Negligence
Plays in Stove Tip-Over Accidents
Whether we're a stove manufacturer, a licensed professional or just one driver among many on a crowded road — each of us has a duty to act with regard for the safety of others.
If, say, driving 50 miles per hour on a city street would create a reasonably foreseeable risk of injury to others, we would have a duty not to act that way. If we did anyway, that would be negligence. And if someone else was injured as a result — we could be held liable for that negligent act.
At the Law Offices of Tinsman & Sciano, we represent people in Texas and throughout the United States who have been injured as the result of stove tip-over accidents. Put our experience and resources to work for you. Call our San Antonio law offices directly at (877) 220-0867 or contact us online for a free consultation with one of our lawyers.
Manufacturers
Manufacturers have known since the 1960s that their anti-tip bracket solution to the unsafe design problem in their stoves wasn't working. The home appliance industry's own surveys have showed that the brackets simply weren't being installed on new stoves. Additionally, older ranges did not have anti-tip brackets, making the products inherently unstable and dangerous. Despite this, the industry continues to stubbornly insist that they have done enough.
We believe the home appliance industry has been negligent in correcting their design defects. We have proven so on many previous occasions.
Installers
Qualified stove installers have a strict professional duty to properly install the anti-tip brackets included with any new or used range. Unfortunately, the home appliance industry has discovered that for numerous reasons, proper installation is rare. In any case, stove installers can and have been held liable for their negligence in these cases as well.
Building Owners and Management Companies
Building owner negligence can also be a factor in stove tip-over accidents. To save money — owners of residential apartment complexes, duplexes and other rental properties will do maintenance themselves, use unlicensed and unqualified people to do it for them, or try to have it done "on the cheap" by telling installers not to use the stove brackets. In some cases, retailers have informed installers that the anti-tip brackets are unnecessary. Our attorneys hold them accountable for this disregard for the safety of tenants.
