The Law Office of David M. Kennedy, P.C. has an extensive history of handling cases that involve an aspect of products liability causing catastrophic injury and death. Sometimes a theory of products liability is the obvious injury-producing problem. In other instances however, the fact that a defective product caused or contributed to the injury causing event, is not so clear. It takes an experienced attorney to know how to investigate and uncover all of the reasons for your injuries.
Manufacturing, Design, and Warnings defects are quite often the reason an accident occurs. While a review of the Settlements and Verdicts section will give you a good idea of the various types of defective products cases that have been handled by the firm, some of the more common scenarios that present themselves are the following:
- Explosions caused by faulty grounds
- Auto parts such as tires, seatbacks, airbags
- Household products such as cleaners and ovens
- Children's toys and jewelry, bedding
- Tractors and Farm equipment
- Recreational Vehicles (ATVs) and vehicles that roll
Drugs and Medical Devices is another area that is unique unto itself, yet is considered a form of products liability law. Pharmaceuticals and medical devices are highly regulated, but there is constant pressure from the drug and device manufacturers to get money-making products out to consumers as quickly as possible. As a result, literally millions of Americans have been severely injured, maimed, and killed so that others can make obscene profits before the drugs and devices are removed from the markets. The industry's political power is unmatched, and can only be checked by juries, and that is where we come in.
This field of products liability changes constantly. Although you may believe a loved one died without neglect being involved, a review of medical treatment and procedures may very well disclose a products causation. Presently, the firm is taking cases in the following areas:
- Defective catheters
- Shoulder Pain Pumps
- Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella
- Defective Heart Stents
- Fentanyl Pain Patches
- Nuva Ring Contraceptives
- Digoxin Toxicity
- Reglan/Metoclopramide
- Levaquin causing achilles ruptures
Regardless of how you or a loved one was seriously injured, it is worth having our firm investigate all potential reasons why. If you need our help, please contact our office.
