Defective Products

Defective Products Can Cause Serious Injury and Death

construction and workplace injuries
Defective products injure or kill thousands every year, but only rarely do victims realize a defective product may have played a role. 

Was a wreck caused just by the drivers, or did a defective tire play a part? Did the seat belts, air bags, antilock braking system, or engine controls operate as they should? And even if no driver was negligent, were the injuries worse than what they should have been? Any kind of farm, construction, factory, or household machinery, and any kind of consumer product, can have a defect that causes injury: cranes, manlifts, hydraulic presses, grinders, wood augers, commercial kitchen equipment, ladders, children’s toys, clothing – almost any engineered or manufactured product. Drugs and medical devices can also have defects that cause injuries. Even though a doctor gave their patient a medication, or used a medical device such as a pacemaker or spinal column stimulator, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, were the instructions proper, or did they fail to properly warn physicians of dangers the drug company knew about? 

We’ve handled many cases involving allegations of serious injuries and death due to defective products, including: 
  • Electronic Throttle Control causing a single vehicle wreck, resulting in catastrophic injuries.
  • Seat belt restraint system contributing to quadriplegia.
  • Firefighter SCBA / PASS devices causing extensive burns and death.
  • Improperly odorized natural gas causing an explosion.
  • E-cigarette device causing death.
  • Weed killer chemicals causing cancer.
  • Flight and engine control software on jet airplane causing destruction of a jet engine.
  • Spinal column stimulator causing paralysis.
  • Labor inducing drug causing brain damage.
  • Stomach ulcer medicine improperly used to induce labor, causing massive internal injuries.
