Product Liability

"In any contest between power and patience, bet on patience."
- W.B. Prescott

Every year people are injured or killed by dangerous products that have mechanical defects or faulty product designs. This should never occur. It is the duty of manufacturers to ensure that the safety of their product before it enters the marketplace.

When a dangerous product does make it into the marketplace, evidence will begin to accumulate of its hazards. Responsible companies step to the plate to resolve damages: they remove products from the market; they replace dangerous products, such as defective air bags or defective seat belts. They change product designs to prevent things like SUV rollovers.

But some companies only accept responsibility once they’ve been forced to face the evidence of their negligence in a courtroom. The corporations that manufacture these dangerous toys, defective cars, defective tires, have teams of powerful attorneys employed to help them avoid liability. They have money and time on their side.

People who have sustained a seat belt injury, an air bag injury or some other serious injury from use of a dangerous product typically have never been involved in a product liability lawsuit. What do they have on their side?
