Products Liability
Thousands of consumers sustain serious injuries from defective products every year. Many of these injuries could be avoided if additional steps were taken by manufacturers or distributors of these products to protect consumers. These companies focus on their bottom law. Many safety improvements are only implemented after the companies are faced with numerous product liability lawsuits. Product liability lawsuits provide compensation for injuries sustained from the use of a defective product.
When a consumer is injured they may be entitled to receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, loss of physical capacity, pain, suffering, and mental anguish. Depending on your jurisdiction, punitive damages may also be available to punish defendants that have demonstrated a reckless or wanton disregard for the safety of the public.
Our lawyers have successfully represented hundreds of plaintiffs in lawsuits against manufacturers and distributors of defective or unsafe consumer products including: medical devices, automobiles, tires, electronics and appliances. As part of our personal injury and wrongful death practice, we assist injured individuals in bringing their claims for their injuries or fatalities caused by a manufacturing flaw or defect, a design flaw or defect, or where a product is unreasonably dangerous because of inadequate instructions or warnings. We ensure that injured consumers or the family and heirs of deceased consumers receive fair treatment under the law and seek full and fair compensation for injuries caused by dangerous and defective products.
