 Product Liability
Attorney
Dangerous or
Defective Products or Drugs
When We Can Help You
People oftentimes sustain serious
injuries (or even death) due to dangerous or defective
products or drugs. In many instances, these serious injuries
(or even death) could have easily been avoided in the products
or drugs were designed properly and/or appropriate safety
instructions given to the potential consumer of these products
or drugs.
Common examples of these types of
products include any baby or children furniture or products
[such as cribs or car seats]; cosmetics; chemicals; food;
apparel; asbestos; firearms; ladders; machinery or tools;
tires; automobile; recreational vehicles; safety devices such
as fences or alarms; pharmaceutical drugs or medical devices
such as artificial hips or pacemakers, tobacco, etc. etc.
We can assist individuals whom
have been injured cased by: a) Defective product design; b)
Defective product manufacturing or c) Failure to warn of a
product defect. Potential parties to any litigation may
include the manufacturer or the part or the entire product,
the wholesaler or distributor or even the retailer.
In most cases, you should contact
us immediately after you discovery the injury caused by a
defective or dangerous product, device or drug since it may be
one of the most important things you can do to protect
yourself and your family since injuries suffered as a result
of these defective products, devices or drugs can negatively
impact your life. The sooner you get us involved in the case,
the sooner we can gather the appropriate evidence, evaluate
the facts, have the actual product or device evaluated by a
competent expert and obtain witness statements. Remember,
there are certain statutes of limitation that may apply and if
a lawsuit is not filed within this specified period of time –
you will be forever barred from doing so in the future.
Although there are many
commonalities with the above types of accidents, there are
often times special Local, State or Federal laws that apply to
certain types of product liability claims – and we may need to
get special notices out to the appropriate parties as quickly
as possible. As stated previously, it is usually best to
retain us as soon as possible so we can have the most positive
impact upon your case.
Even if you did not retain us
immediately (which is generally the best thing to do), you can
retain us anytime prior to formally resolving and/or settling
your Products Liability Claim with the at-fault party and/or
the at-fault parties’ insurance company – as long as the
Statute of Limitations has not passed.
What We Can Do To Help You
Our law firm understands that
serious injuries or even death sustained as a result of
defective or dangerous products, devices or drugs can be
devastating – not only for the injured person(s) but their
family. The first thing we would examine is whether or not you
have a viable Products Liability Claim based upon either a)
Defective product design; b) Defective product manufacturing
or c) Failure to warn of a product defect and whether or not
this was the cause of your injuries. This issue of causation
in these type of cases can be difficult, especially if the
injuries may have been as a result of several causes.
Assuming you have a viable Products Liability Claim, we would
determine if pursuing a claim on your behalf is viable based
upon the anticipated or expected recovery as compared to the
significant time and expense of pursuing a Product Liability
Claim upon either a theory of Negligence, Breach of Warranty,
Misrepresentation or Strict Liability.
We will attempt to resolve your claim amicably as long as the
at-fault parties are willing to offer a fair and reasonable
settlement. In the cases in which they are not willing to do
so, then a lawsuit must be filed. In this instance, please be
prepared to wait anywhere from 18 to 36 months for your
Products Liability Claim to be resolved – assuming that the
claim is forced to go to trial.
Once your immediate needs are met, we will work closely with
your insurance company, the at-fault parties’ insurance
company, your medical providers as well as any other relevant
parties to insure that all of your needs are being handled
appropriately and quickly. Our goal will be to expeditiously
resolve your products liability claim for the maximize amount
of compensation available for your past, present and future
medicals bills, your past, present and future lost wages and
your past, present and future pain & suffering, mental anguish
and emotional distress.
You should hire The Law Offices of Joseph A. Porcelli, P.A. to
assist you with your Products Liability Claim because there
are many potential hazards in attempting to resolve these

and reasonable settlement for their injuries.
The Law Offices of Joseph A. Porcelli, P.A. has represented
numerous injured parties in disputes with self-insured
companies and/or the at-fault parties’ insurance company with
regard to Products Liability Claims, quite possibly even
someone that you know. Most people do not have the experience

Products Liability Claims and are at a decided disadvantage
when they attempt to do so on their own. Our years of
experience in assisting injured people helps level the playing
field to your benefit by maximizing the value of your serious
injury or wrongful death settlement in an expedient and
professional manner.
