People with physical handicaps in their legs sometimes use wheelchairs. These devices allow handicapped people to move more efficiently and effectively than using their own two legs.

In some cases, people who have lost the use of their legs have no choice but to use wheelchairs. These people rely on wheelchairs on a daily basis, and if their wheelchairs have defects, then they are explosed to a serious risk of injury. 

Wheelchairs can lead to injuries when they are not properly designed or constructed. In either case, the manufacturer may be liable if a person is injured while using a defective wheelchair.
