Is a business liable if a customer uses faulty equipment that they know is damaged?

Yes, if you were injured, the business would be liable for your injuries. However, your hurdle will be proving that the business knew that the equipment was faulty. Testimony from an employee of the business or a customer who reported the faulty equipment will be key. To help you with your case, I strongly recommend that you contact a personal injury attorney who specializes in product liability or accidents. You can find a list of these attorneys in your local phonebook or through your state's bar association.
