Total costs would include the cost of liability insurance, legal and court costs, and the time of management required by the cases. Insurance costs could be reduced by adding safety features.…

    We all are familiar with, and more or less skilled in various intervention techniques such as manipulation, mobilization, stabilization, specific exercises, traction, and electric modalities for a low back pain (LBP). But, the article "Subgrouping Patients with Low Back Pain: Evolution of a Classification Approach to Physical Therapy" by Fritz, Cleland, and Childs (2007), itself is a new piece of information. According to Fritz et al. (2007), the research evidence represents that a classification approach to physical therapy in patients with LBP is more beneficial than the alternative approach. A classification approach system is divided into 4 classifications of patients with LBP based upon intervention techniques including manipulation,…

    Equine Back Pain

    Back problems in horses are nothing new to the equine world. In 1876 back injuries were among the most prevalent and least understood of equine suffering (Lupton,1876). Much of this statement still holds true today, however within recent years more research has been conducted to better understand the etiology and pathogenesis of conditions affecting the horses back; due to the fact that recently animal welfare concerns have grown and taken priority, and horse owners and professionals alike have become more aware of the possible repercussions of working a horse with a bad back. Back problems may include but are not limited to parts of the spine, as well as secondary muscle soreness caused by lameness, improper training, an unskilled rider, or poor saddle fit (Greve and Dyson., 2013).…

    Product Liability

    • 2251 Words

    Consumers use a variety of products on a daily basis to assist them in accomplishing a task or completing a project and they expect the product to be properly designed and safe to use. However, in the event that a product is defective and causes injury to the person using it, the manufacturer may be liable for the injury and have to compensate the injured person (s). Companies that manufacture products need to be sure they are doing all within their power to assemble products that are free of defects that could accidentally cause harm and cost the company. Product liability is the responsibility of manufacturers, distributors and sellers of products to the public, to deliver products free of defects which harm an individual or numerous persons and to make good on that responsibility if their products are defective (Product Liability, 2011). Products containing inherent defects that cause harm to a consumer of the product, or someone to whom the product was loaned or given, are the subjects of products liability suits (Product Liability Law). Products liability claims can be based on negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty of fitness depending on the jurisdiction within which the claim is based. If a person(s) is injured while properly using a product that is defective, they have a right to file a claim against the company that would be titled a product liability lawsuit. However, in order to prevail on a product liability claim, the product complained of must be shown to be defective (Product Liability Law, 2011). A defective product causes injury or damage to a person or a person's property because of some defect in the product, its labeling or the manner in which the product was used. There are three types of product defects that incur liability in manufacturers and suppliers: design defects,…

    121). Many states have adopted the strict liability doctrine to determine product liability cases. Under strict liability, defendants can be determined liable despite following all necessary preparations from manufacturing to sale; this concept is known as liability without fault (Cheeseman, 2013, p. 121). Therefore, all parties in the supply chain of distribution are liable for any injury caused by the product. For example, a customer purchases a new stove from a local hardware store that has an unknown heating element defect. Later, the heating element catches fire, causing significant damage to the customer’s house. If the customer lives in a jurisdiction that recognizes strict liability that customers can sue any party of the chain of distribution, including the hardware store, manufacturer, and distributor. A defendant, who is not at fault, can later sue the negligent party of the chain of distribution to recover monetary rewards paid to the…

    Back pain, the pain that made three years of my life miserable, the same pain that caused me to become an outcast. Four years ago I made an appointment with my physician for some back pain I was having, the pain was not excruciating at the time, but it was still pretty agonizing, much like the burdens Christian was carrying. My doctor could only notice that my hips were unaligned, so he sent me in for several X-rays, my doctor was kind of like Evangelist. He pointed me in the right direction. He received my X-rays and noticed that I had a small curve in my back, fifteen degrees to be exact, this degree classifies as scoliosis, I felt like I was stuck in the Slough of Despond. I was put on restrictions and could barely run without breaking my doctor’s rules. My physician then sent me to an orthopedic surgeon; he explained to me that my curvature was not severe enough for surgery, so I was sent to a chiropractor, hoping he would rehabilitate my back, this was like going to the Interpreters house, the chiropractor was going to fix my back and I would be able to everything again! However, I was wrong.…
