Console & Associates P.C. Investigates Firearm Injuries from Unexpected Sig Sauer P320 Discharges

MARLTON, N.J., March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Gun owners across the country are reporting injuries from handguns that have fired unexpectedly, causing serious harm without the trigger being pulled. Console & Associates P.C. is currently reviewing claims from individuals who have suffered injuries due to an alleged firearm defect. If you or a loved one suffered an injury after an unintentional gun discharge, you may be eligible for legal action against the manufacturer.

Can You File a Lawsuit for a Gun That Fired on Its Own?

Hundreds of thousands of gun owners have purchased a popular handgun model that is now being linked to accidental discharges. Reports indicate that Sig Sauer P320 handguns have gone off while holstered, while being carried, or even while sitting untouched. More than 100 individuals have alleged that their Sig Sauer P320 discharged without a trigger pull, with at least 80 victims suffering gunshot wounds.

Gun owners expect their firearms to function safely, but evidence suggests that some of these weapons pose an unreasonable risk. If a design flaw or manufacturing defect caused your injury, you may be able to file a lawsuit to recover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Why Are Sig Sauer P320 Owners Getting Injured Without Pulling the Trigger?

Multiple reports and lawsuits claim that these handguns are prone to firing without warning, often in situations where the trigger was never touched. Victims have suffered gunshot wounds to the leg, groin, and abdomen while:

• Holstering or unholstering their firearm;
• Sitting down or adjusting their position;
• Climbing in or out of a vehicle; and
• Carrying the firearm in a bag or case.

Firearms experts suggest that the number of incidents and the pattern of injuries indicate a potential design flaw rather than user error. However, the manufacturer continues to deny that the firearm is defective, instead attributing the injuries to improper handling.

What To Do If You Were Accidentally Injured by a Sig Sauer P320 Pistol

Firearms remain exempt from federal consumer safety regulations, meaning that no government agency can mandate a recall, even when a firearm is linked to multiple injuries. This lack of oversight allows manufacturers to continue selling a potentially dangerous product without warning consumers.

For those harmed by an unintentional firearm discharge, legal action may be the only way to hold the manufacturer accountable. Victims may be eligible to file a mass tort lawsuit, which allows multiple individuals to seek compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.

Severe Injuries Linked to Unintentional Firearm Discharges

Reports of Sig Sauer P320 unintentional discharges have resulted in life-altering injuries for gun owners and others nearby. Victims have suffered serious gunshot wounds, often when their firearm discharged without any trigger pull. Documented injuries include:

• Permanent nerve damage that impacts mobility and daily function;
• Fractured bones from bullets striking the legs, feet, or other areas;
• Internal injuries caused by bullets traveling through the body; and
• Chronic pain and long-term disability requiring extensive medical treatment.

Some incidents have also placed bystanders in immediate danger. Victims have reported unexpected discharges in vehicles, workplaces, and public spaces, highlighting the serious safety risks posed by these firearms. Console & Associates P.C. is reviewing legal options for those affected and encourages anyone who has suffered injuries from an unintentional gun discharge to seek legal counsel.

Who Is Eligible to File a Lawsuit for an Accidental Gun Discharge?

• Owning or handling a specific handgun model linked to these incidents;
• Suffering an injury caused by an unexpected discharge; and
• Using the firearm safely and lawfully at the time of the incident.
