Defective Children’s Product Lawyers Protect Your Legal Rights
Atlanta personal injury attorneys have seen the devastating results of negligent manufacturing due to defective children’s products and seek to hold all parties accountable for the life-changing consequences they cause. From dangerous toys to faulty school/daycare or sporting equipment, Georgia manufacturers and suppliers have a legal duty to ensure public safety, especially for our youngest and most vulnerable citizens.
We stand ready to pursue your claim to the law’s fullest extent, conducting a thorough investigation that includes analysis of materials used, company documents, records of tests, prior consumer complaints, and ignored recalls. Most heinous of all are items that are deliberately or obviously out of compliance, such as China’s lead-based crayons or contaminated baby food. While it may take years to bring a foreign company to justice, distributors and retailers may be liable, as well.
Atlanta Product Liability Attorney Knows the Value of Claims
When clients consult with an Atlanta personal injury attorney, one of their first questions is “What is my defective product case worth?” The answer, depending on individual circumstances, often surprises them. There may be expenses they may not have considered or they may have been unaware of information the other side’s insurance company omitted, in order to keep payout as low as possible.
A good Georgia liability attorney knows that medical bills top the list and consults with medical experts to determine, not only recent and current expenses incurred, but expected future expenses, as well. For example, burns from a malfunctioning night light or other electrical device that causes clothing to catch fire could require numerous skin grafts and repeated surgeries. Injuries involving a near strangulation from an infant carrier, crib or other defective product may mean lifelong nursing care.
We also document future medicines/medical devices and accommodation adjustments for permanent disabilities or amputations caused by the negligence of other parties. Other possible compensatory damages may include pain and suffering, punitive damages (for gross negligence), loss of future income (including lifetime valuation), and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases of Atlanta wrongful death, we’ll work to recover funeral expenses, as well.
Atlanta Wrongful Death Lawyers
The jury determines the value of a life, so it is of extreme importance that you have a skilled Georgia wrongful death lawyer to present your case to ensure that your child is not indifferently brushed aside. Injuries can happen anywhere, but when they happen because of the negligence of one or more at-fault persons, they must compensate for the harm they have caused.
