PRODUCT LIABILITY

Product Liability

Product liability claims involve numerous legal complexities. Who are all of the defendants — the product manufacturer, the defective component manufacturer, the product distributor, the end seller of the product or another party? And why is the case actionable — was the product covered by an express warranty? An implied warranty? And how was the warranty breached — from a failure to warn? Through improper instructions? Through the lack of instructions? Or from a faultily manufactured product?

The New York City product liability attorneys of Smiley & Smiley, LLP, have handled thousands of personal injury claims, including over 100 product liability claims. We are skilled at handling all aspects of claims involving dangerous products, from unraveling complex corporate ownership structures to investigating accidents that lead to serious injuries and wrongful death.

 

 

ACHIEVING RESULTS IN PRODUCTS LIABILITY CASES

Recent cases illustrating our effectiveness in handling product liability injury cases include:

  • Our client was operating a camera while rock climbing and shooting a sports video when he fell, injuring his knee. Our investigation established that the equipment provided by the excursion company that supervised the climb was faulty. We resolved the case for $925,000.
  • Our client broke a wrist when the exercise ball he was using burst during a workout. Just before we delivered our closing arguments, we settled the case for $375,000.

We have handled cases involving defective cars and car parts, unsafe consumer and household products, and unsafe workplace tools and machinery. We handle many cases involving defective medical products, including defective testosterone therapy products.
