Products can severely injure you.

Poorly manufactured products, products that fail to meet basic safety standards, or products that fail to work as they were designed can cause serious bodily injury. You can suffer an injury because your car tires failed, a home appliance caught fire under normal use, or a power tool failed and caused burns. We can help hold the manufacturer responsible when you suffer an injury that could have been prevented if the product was properly manufactured.

Product liability cases are challenging; we must be able to determine what the defect is, and demonstrate the injury was caused by the defect. This often requires us to use experts who are familiar with typical quality control procedures; talking to a personal injury attorney is a must in these cases.

Different products can injure normal people in one of many different ways

Brain Injuries

Many call traumatic brain injuries the invisible injury. That is because, often, a mild traumatic brain injury only shows itself after spending some time with the injured person who is capable of carrying on a superficial conversation. Nevertheless, the injury is still severe and you should make sure to find an attorney who has handled these injuries in the past.

Broken Bones

Significant wrecks usually result in broken bones. Broken bones are easily visible on X-Rays but they are not always easily healed. Bones could reform together improperly causing a nonunion or malunion. Sometimes broken bones require hardware to correct and, then, sometimes the hardware has to be removed. These issues are all at play in a personal injury case with a broken bone.

Paralysis or Spine Injuries

Spine injuries range on a spectrum. Some injuries result in paralysis including the loss of use of limbs. Other injuries result in pain, numbness, shooting sensations, extremity pain, etc. While some of these injuries can be treated conservatively with physical therapy or injections, others may be so serious as to require surgery by an orthopedic surgeon or a neurosurgeon. 

Muscle or Ligament Injuries

Not all injuries are broken bones or structural damages. Many times, car wrecks cause injuries to muscles or ligaments that affect the spine or the shoulder or other body parts. These muscle or ligament injuries can sometimes be worse than a broken bone because they can take much longer to heal. Some may never heal. 

Permanent Scarring or Disfigurement

Permanent disfigurement resulting in the loss of a limb or the loss of the use of a limb, or scarring injuries particularly to the face or other commonly visible places are troublesome injuries to live with. Those types of injuries could be cured by plastic surgery and, if so, you must consult with a specialist.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one to illness is hard; losing a loved one because of another’s actions or inaction is significantly more difficult. Families who have had a loved one murdered, die as a result of a drunk driving accident, or lose their lives in the workplace because of poor safety standards have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit or a claim for death benefits.
