gun Wrongful Death lawyer in Muscogee County Georgia
People are often injured or killed by a gun that was discharged accidentally. The major cause of accidental hand gun discharges is defective manufacturing. Certain weapons that have not been recalled even though they are defective are: the Excam Derringer, Lorcin pistols, the Remington Model 700 hunting rifle, and the Sturm, Ruger, and Companys Old Model single action revolver. The continued sale of such defective guns makes future incidents of accidental discharge highly likely.
Unintentional weapon discharge can occur if the gun is handled incorrectly, when a loaded firearm is transported in an automobile such as a vehicle, or any number of other scenarios.
Other reasons for handgun accidents include:
• Improper maintenance: Improper maintenance will lead to obstruction due to build up of debris in the barrel, which will cause it to rupture when the gun is fired.
• Shooting at a hard surface: This will make the bullet or surface fragments to ricochet and injure the gun handler or others.
• Improper ammunition use: Improper use of ammunition refers to the use of wrong caliber or size, and also using reloaded or remanufactured ammunition.
• Shooting while intoxicated: Alcohol drinking leads to impaired judgment which can lead to improper use of a weapon.
There are also dangers associated with firing a gun that do not involve firearm accidents per se. For example, using a gun in unventilated areas increases the risk of lead exposure, which can cause birth defects and other types of toxic injury
