Boies, Schiller & Flexner is advocating for industry-wide acceptance of innovative and highly effective technology to prevent injuries from table saws. Thousands of people in the U.S. sever fingers or maim hands with table saws every year, yet the industry has failed to adopt available flesh-detection technology that has proven effective.  BSF is involved in approximately 50 cases, representing injured people and suing power tool companies, and won a $1.5 million jury verdict against the power-tool maker Ryobi in 2010, which was affirmed on appeal in 2011.
