Products Liability

When you buy a product whether it is a large purchase or small, you expect the manufacturer to design, build and market a safe product that will function without injuring the end user. Unfortunately, many people are victims of the careless, reckless and negligent acts of manufacturers of everyday products. Serious injury and death are befalling many unsuspecting men, women and children. The Ford Motor Company Bronco II motor vehicles are known to be dangerous because they will easily go out of control and roll over. Another example of a dangerous product is the Evenflo Happy Camper play pen. The design and manufacturing of the pen was dangerous because it was not easy to tell if the latching mechanism on the side of the pen was locked; and, if it was not locked the side of the pen would collapse and trap the child in the V-shaped configuration. Several children were killed before Evenflo agreed with the U. S. Products Safety Commission.

The above examples are but two of many. More often than not, the injured persons or the heirs of a deceased victims are caught up with the immediate problems caused by the events. Many of the victims do not even know that the products are unsafe nor do they know that they can do anything about it. A good personal injury attorney knows the need for immediate action to preserve the evidence; secure the product; hire experts to examine the product; and locate all witnesses. Persons who are seriously injured go through many stages of recovery from intensive care to rehabilitation. In order to show the jury how much the person has had to endure because of the negligence of the manufacturer, it is imperative to take videos and photographs and to keep a complete diary of the recovery period.

The time honored fee arrangement between a client and a personal injury attorney is based upon a contingent fee agreement. The injured party agrees that his attorney will receive a percentage of what is recovered. If the attorney does not recover for the client, the client owes nothing. This type of agreement insures the client that the attorney will work diligently for the client because the amount of the attorney's fee depends upon the amount recovered for the client.
