Sometimes it's easy to tell when you might have a personal injury claim against the manufacturer or distributor of a machine or piece of equipment. In other situations, however, it takes careful investigation to determine how the failure or malfunction of a component played a role in a fatality or serious injury. Whether your product defect claim is obvious or well-hidden, we have access to the technical experts necessary to accurately evaluate whether design or manufacture caused or contributed to your injury. Call our office for a consultation concerning product cases in the following areas:

• Auto defects, including components such as airbags, tires, seatbelts or fuel systems

• Farm and ranch equipment

• Recreational equipment such as snowmobiles, personal watercraft, ATVs or outdoor gear

• Consumer tools, gardening equipment or heating devices

• Rental equipment 

Products liability litigation can be highly technical in nature. It's up to the plaintiff not only to show that a particular product caused an injury or death, but also to prove that the actual danger represented negligence in design or manufacture. This evidence must normally be developed and presented through experts qualified to express opinions about design and production techniques in a particular industry.

Our ability to meet the challenges of products liability litigation can help drivers whose injuries are far greater than those covered under applicable car insurance, or employees whose workers' compensation benefits will fall short of the full range of their losses.
