Products Liability

Helping workers and consumers injured by defective products

Product designers, manufacturers, marketers, and sellers all have a legal responsibility to ensure that the products they put on the market—from tiny nutritional supplements to huge construction cranes—are safe to use.  When a product harms a worker or consumer using it because of a defect or misrepresentation, these companies are legally responsible for damages.

I have successfully represented individuals who have suffered serious harm—including brain injuries, cognitive impairment, and severe disabilities—as a result of the use of defective or misrepresented products or medical equipment.  Home accidents involving ladders, saws, power tools, appliances, and lawn tractors also produce valid liability claims.  Other products liability cases I pursue involve catastrophic on-the-job injuries occurring in connection with use of defective materials, equipment, and vehicles.

Pennsylvania product liability rules

If you have been injured using a product, the seller of the product may be held responsible under strict liability laws.  Under Pennsylvania law, we need to prove that:

• The product was defective or inadequate warning labels or instructions were provided, which made use of the product unreasonably dangerous
• You used the product the way it was supposed to be used
• The defect caused your injury
• You suffered damages

Call 877-450-3648 or contact me online for help in determining if these conditions can be met in your case.

The stakes are high

Because both large awards of damages and substantial future sales and profits are at stake for manufacturers and sellers of these products, these cases are often vigorously defended by the responsible companies.  This in turn raises the costs required to get to successful settlement or litigation of these claims—sometimes beyond the current means of the injured person.  That is why I take these cases on a contingency basis, so that you do not have to invest any money up front.  

Securing your future after serious injury

I am dedicated to the pursuit of justice and appropriate compensation for those seriously harmed by using a product.  If you believe that you or family members may have grounds for a product liability claim, contact me online or call 877-450-3648 for a free consultation to discuss your situation.  When I accept your case, you owe nothing out of pocket until I recover compensation for you.
