Products Liability
Manufacturers and store owners have a responsibility
to consumers. They must ensure that the products they sell are neither
defective nor inherently dangerous. If a dangerous or defective product
injures an unwary consumer, the manufacturer (and sometimes the designer,
distributor, wholesaler, or retailer) is considered legally liable,
as long as the consumer was using the product as it was meant to be
used when he or she was injured. Whether the product is a hairdryer
or an automobile tire, manufacturers must make sure that products
are designed and made safely, that quality control systems prevent
defective products from entering the market, and that adequate directions
and warning labels are available to protect consumers. To learn more

Injury
Personal injury victims are injured through the fault of another
person or group. Personal injury encompasses a broad range of cases,
from slip and fall injuries to automobile accidents. Any case in
which one person is hurt by another person's negligent or wrongful
action (or inaction) may be considered personal injury. Most personal
injuries include physical, emotional, and financial hardships. If
you or a family member has been the victim of personal injury, our
firm can help you receive the compensation you need. Please contact
us today.

issues. Our firm understands the intricacies of labor law at the

Pharmaceutical Law
Drug manufacturers, pharmacists, and doctors have a responsibility
to ensure that the drugs they prescribe or provide for patients
do not cause harm. Some drugs have dangerous side effects or have
the potential to cause long-term damage. These drugs are often the
subjects of later recalls. While the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) plays a regulatory role in determining drug safety, the manufacturer
is ultimately liable. In some cases, a drug that is normally safe
may be an inappropriate choice -- perhaps because of a patient allergy,
condition, or due to a possible reaction with another drug the patient
is taking. In such cases, the doctor or pharmacist may be legally
liable for the patient's injuries. To learn more about pharmaceutical
law, please contact us today.
