Products Liability

Defective Products Lawsuits

A successful products liability case is a victory not just for the client but also for everyone who might be injured by hazardous goods. These suits encourage the continued use of safety measures by manufacturers and distributors of goods and services. Claims under products liability law can lead to changes in state and federal law that will strengthen the safety of products bought by consumers. When we win a significant settlement or verdict for an injured client, everyone benefits.

Compensation for your injuries

At Shandell, Blitz, Blitz & Ashley, we help people injured by defective products recover damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. An equally important goal of this type of legal action is to remove dangerous products from the market so others will not be similarly hurt. If you have been injured or a loved one killed by a manufactured item, contact our Manhattan law firm to learn if you have a case. Call us to schedule a free initial consultation.

Handling lawsuits involving all types of manufactured products

We have been helping people obtain compensation for injuries and deaths caused by manufactured products for more than 30 years. Our clients have included people injured by:

• Airbags
• Seatbelts
• Tire blowouts
• Baby car seats
• Faulty wiring
• Pharmaceutical products
• Defective medical devices
• Defective welds on airplane wings
• Snow blowers
• Lawn mowers
• Power tools
• Gas grills and stoves
• Propane tanks
• Space heaters
• Consumer electrical products

Accidents and injuries caused by products such as these can occur at home, on the road, or at work. Auto accidents, construction site accidents, and machine accidents frequently caused serious injury or death. When such events are the result of defective design, poor manufacturing processes, or inadequate warnings and instructions, victims should be compensated.

Changing company policy and laws protecting consumers

Being forced to pay damages can quickly change the way companies operate. A little financial pain can encourage companies to adjust their attitudes toward consumer safety. We are proud of our work in products liability. In addition to obtaining compensation for our injured clients, we have been able to change the law and push businesses toward more responsible behavior.
