Posted on Nov 10, 2020 11:19am PST
A magnetic lock is a heavy metal block that requires professional installation
and continual maintenance. Injuries that result from falling magnetic
lock components are common.
As a
door and gate legal expert, Mike Panish is contacted frequently regarding injuries due to falling magnetic lock
components. He has been the retained expert on numerous legal cases where
a magnetic lock failed to work or did not stay attached to the door and
frame, as required. Falling magnetic lock components have created serious
injuries and wrongful death claims. These claims have happened from diverse
locations such as security doors for banks, shopping centers, hospitals,
labs, penal institutions, long term care facilities, and hotels - among others.
Magnetic locks are heavy and sharp boxes that fail in many ways and they
frequently lead to personal injuries including traumatic brain injury
(TBI). There are installation techniques and procedures that generally
make these devices safe, if professionally followed and performed.
