This video demonstrates a new technology from SawStop. The saw can detect the difference between wood and flesh and come to a dead stop in about three one-thousandths of a second. This accurate and speedy safety device leaves the hot dog with only a minor scrape on the surface. Thousands of individuals each year become victims to table saw injuries across the nation. Companies such as Black & Decker, and Bosch have been involved in many settlement cases concerning their injured consumers. In fact an article written by Myron Levin titled “Saws Cut Off 4,000 Fingers a Year. This Gadget Could Fix That” states that more than 67,000 workers are injured by a table saw each year. 33,000 of these result in emergency room visits and 4,000 amputations (Levin, 2013). Unfortunately these accidents leave many consumers suffering with pain, medical bills, lost wages, and irreversible damage to themselves.

If you or a loved one has been affected by any of these products we encourage you to consult with one of our table saw attorneys as soon as possible. Although no dollar amount can make up for permanent injuries and results of table saw accidents, a successful civil claim pursued against the responsible party will ensure that the victims are not burdened with costly medical expenses, and will hopefully compensate them for their pain, suffering, and lost wages for time missed from work.
