We Hold Manufacturers Accountable for Dangerous Products
An SUV that rolls over, a gas tank that explodes in a rear-end collision, a power drill that electrocutes the user, a medical device that fails, and exercise equipment that fails are just a few of the products that manufacturers made and sold even when they knew there was a danger to their customers.
Trial lawyers — including Fairfax product liability attorney Brien Roche — have played an important and decisive role in holding corporations responsible for defective products. At the Brien Roche law firm, we represent injured people and the estates of people who have died because of dangerous products.
Product Liability Lawsuits Make Products Safer
When McDonald's made coffee 40-50 degrees hotter than recommended, the company attacked "frivolous lawsuits" even though they knew their hot-coffee practices had seriously burned hundreds of people, including babies. When they were held accountable, they made changes to ensure customer safety.
For one manufacturer after another, safety did not become an issue until they were forced to pay for their negligence. Today, SUVs have safer designs, gas tanks have better placement, power drills are safer and medical devices go through more testing before they are implanted in patients' bodies.
Case Example: One of our clients was using exercise equipment that was sold over the Internet as well as in stores. The equipment failed due to a design defect causing our client to suffer a significant injury to his lower back. The claim was settled with the distributor for $1.5 million. In addition, we successfully collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional monies from other available sources for our client.
