Safer Saws- Jesse Samaritano

1. “Every year, thousands of people are severely injured after using table saws. For more than a decade, the SawStop safety mechanism has been available that could prevent almost all table saw injuries. Unfortunately, the manufacturers have refused to adopt it. Now, many people who have been injured are bring lawsuits against table saw manufacturers for failing to include the safety devices that would protect their customers from losing fingers, hands, arms, and suffering unfathomable pain.” – Table Saw Injury Lawyer

2. Although technology to prevent injury has been around, manufacturers do not adapt to the technology. Therefor, people still hurt themselves on the machines.

3. Consequential claim

4. The lawyers’ claim is reasonable to the reader. They provide facts on how long the technology to prevent injuries has been available and persuasively incriminate saw manufacturers that don’t use the technology to protect their customers. The statement is accurate and even gives a rough statistic to help support the claim that with the safe saw technology, there may be less injuries.

5. Although the lawyers’ claim is reasonable and is persuasive, I believe that bringing a lawsuit against the saw companies would be unfair to the companies because the buyer should understand the risks involved in buying and using a table saw, especially if the buyers know that the saw does not have the Safe Saw technology. This is along the lines of spilling hot coffee on yourself and sewing MacDonald’s for serving you hot coffee. If the saws advertised Safe Saw technology and the safe still injured the user, then there would be a much more credible lawsuit.

    Wow. That last conclusion of your seems completely contradictory, Jesse. Are you saying that trying to make customers safer makes companies more liable to injury lawsuits? If so, we can hardly blame them if they don’t bother.
