Products Liability Claims involving antenna's —preferably REAL claims…?
Ok, to all my insurance ppl… I am looking for examples of Products Liability Claims specifically involving antennas. Even more specifically if you can find anything on unmanned vehicle antenna's or vehicle antenna's… I've looked and not coming up with much…
Are you talking about antennas on real vehicles, space vehicles, or toys?? The main toy hazard is going to be electrocution (conducts well) and choking (if it breaks off), but I think it's a low hazard exposure. For vehicle antennas, I don't think it's an issue, but for UNMANNED vehicles, I see a major hazard - what if the antenna interferes with direction transmissions, which causes a fatal accident?
Sorry, no real claims experience - the closest I can think of, is regarding some wind turbines that convert wind to electricity - a local farmer was blaming it on his cows miscarrying, but it was a feed issue in the end.
