| Despite decades of
governmental regulation of consumer products, defective products still
represent a major threat to you and your family. Additionally, many
products are virtually unregulated by either state or federal government,
including for example, firearms. The lawyers of McCloskey, P.C. have
represented individuals injured or suffering from a death of a loved
one as a result of defective products over the past 20 years. They
have prosecuted claims for injuries and death resulting from defective
automobiles (including propensity to roll over, failure of air bags
to deploy, the premature opening of air bags, defective suspension
and electrical systems, lack of crashworthiness, etc.); defective
industrial machinery resulting in amputation and other injuries of
limbs and fingers; defective firearms resulting in misfires or fully
automatic firing resulting in injury and death in multiple cases;
defective farming machinery causing a host of injuries including amputation
and neurological injuries; defective plumbing fixtures and water heaters
resulting in falls causing brain injury and serious neurological injuries;
defective electrical systems resulting in fires; defective pressure
cookers resulting in explosion; defective electrical components resulting
in explosion, defective fast food causing death, defective lawn mowers
causing amputation, defective stoves and a host of others.
As with many areas of the law, when you or a loved
one has been injured or killed as a result of a defective product,
the most important thing your lawyer can do for you is to assist
you in the preservation of the evidence. Often, in the context of
a products liability defect, the manufacturer attempts to recover
the defective product as soon as they become aware of the injury
and destroy the product. It is vitally important that you and your
attorney maintain possession of any defective product or part causing
injury or death so that it can be analyzed by appropriate experts.
Sometimes, unless an expert is able to examine the product to determine
the precise nature of the defect, the case can be lost because it
becomes challenging to prove what caused the injury.
If you feel that you have been injured as a
result of a defective product, obtain a lawyer as quickly as possible
in order that the defective product can be preserved for evidence
and your rights can be protected.
