PRODUCT LIABILITY  When you purchase or use a product of any kind, you expect the product to function properly; this may not always be the case, and you may have incurred injuries from various product defects. Some forms of product defects include the design, manufacturing, or marketing of dangerous items, as well as many ordinary household items such as home electronics, baby products, medicines, and even furniture.
The attorneys of Feldman Shepherd represent individuals or groups who have sustained injuries from a dangerous product and who may be entitled to compensation from the product’s manufacturer, the product’s wholesaler, or the retailer who ultimately sold the product.
We have handled cases where injuries have occurred as a result of:
- Amusement park attractions and rides
- Augers
- Automobiles and trucks
- Children’s products
- Chinese-made products (Made in China)
- Cranes and lift equipment
- Dangerous toys
- Helicopters
- Industrial equipment
- Lawnmowers
- Lead paint
- Medical and pharmaceutical devices
- Power pools
- Punch presses
- Recreational and consumer products
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has stated that there are 200 to 300 product recalls each year. A vast majority of these recalls include children's toys, but other product recalls have involved automobiles, tires, furniture, household appliances, tools, and safety equipment. Harmful prescription medications also fall under product liability. Some recent well-known product liability cases involved the prescription drugs Vioxx, Bextra, and Celebrex.
Injuries due to defective consumer products can be life-altering experiences leading to permanent injuries and even death. Handling each defective product claim as a special and unique case, Feldman Shepherd lawyers have obtained substantial verdicts and settlements in product liability litigation, in state and federal courts. We have also successfully pursued claims against state and municipal authorities for the negligent manufacturing and distribution of harmful products that have contributed to serious injuries.
Our experienced attorneys can help you secure all of the compensation to which you may be entitled. This may include compensation for your pain and suffering, financial losses, emotional distress, and medical expenses. In some cases, you may also be entitled to punitive damages for another party’s wrongdoing.
Our attorneys can help you deal with your insurance company, as well as the insurer of the other party or parties. Insurance companies have lawyers working hard to minimize their payouts; you need a lawyer who will work just as hard for you.
