Can I recover damages for injury caused by a defective wheelchair?

Wheelchair defects causing injury invoke product liability for manufacturers and potentially premises liability for providers. Design defects in stability or controls examined. Manufacturing variations from specifications dangerous. Warning inadequacies about limitations actionable. Maintenance failures by providers separate liability. Prescription appropriateness for user needs matters. Insurance coverage for mobility devices complex. Rental versus ownership affects defendants. Custom modifications complicate liability. Replacement during litigation necessary.
