Product Liability We represent victims seriously injured by products that have been defectively designed, manufactured, or marketed to the public in a manner that exposes consumers to unreasonable risks. If you have been involved in an accident under circumstances in which you believe that a defective product may be involved, it is important that you take the following steps:
In the typical course of a product liability case, we will retain one or more experts to examine the defective product for design or manufacturing flaws. In addition, experts may be consulted to consider whether the product was marketed in a manner that exposed the consumer to unreasonable risks, such as by failing to include necessary safety and operation information in the instruction manual. We incur the often substantial expense of retaining these experts. As in all of our cases, the client is only responsible for paying our fees and costs in the event of a settlement or a judgment in the client’s favor. As of March of 2004, the U.S. Consumer Product Commission had reported the recall of over 4,000 different types of products, recall of products. The Commission maintains a directory of these recalls sorted by product, type, and company and product description, on its website at http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prerel.html. However, this list only constitutes a fraction of the total number of potentially defective products that have been placed on the market, as it only covers products whose flaws have already come to the attention of manufacturers and involved serious enough concerns about safety to mandate a recall. |
