Product Recall Lawsuits - Hartford
Hartford Recall Lawsuits / Consumer Injuries
Sometimes big corporations are so anxious to put new products on the market, they often forget - or deliberately ignore - the need to make those products safe. Dangerous products can and do cause serious injury and even wrongful death.
At Brown & Crouppen, our team of attorneys has been involved in product liability litigation for more than 25 years, and we are familiar with the physical, emotional and financial damage that a defective product can cause. If you have been injured or lost someone because of a dangerous product, you have the right to file a claim against the supplier or manufacturer of the product.
Defective Medications
Why Should Taking a Pill Mean Taking a Gamble With Your Life?
Improperly designed or manufactured prescription drugs can cause serious injury and in some cases death. We believe that drug companies that place profit above people must be held accountable. Contact us today and speak with our pharmaceutical attorneys for a free claim evaluation.
Defective Products
Assume Products Are Safe? Don't Be Sorry
Sometimes big corporations are so anxious to put new products on the market, they often forget - or deliberately ignore - the need to make those products safe. Dangerous products can and do cause serious injury and even wrongful death.
If you were injured by a dangerous product, or if a loved one was seriously injured or killed, it is possible the same product harmed other consumers. At Brown & Crouppen, we have the legal resources necessary to pursue class action lawsuits. Product liability cases may include:
- Automotive defects. Defective air bags, seatbelts, car doors; SUV rollovers and car fires that result in paraplegia, quadriplegia or spinal cord injuries.
- Defective tires. Poor materials or manufacturing processes that result in tire blowouts or tire recalls that result in paraplegia, quadriplegia or spinal cord injuries.
- Unsafe baby equipment. These include defective baby car seats, swings, cribs and playpens.
- Defective safety equipment. Unsafe filtration systems that can cause asbestos, silicosis, welding rod claims, and other life-threatening health hazards.
- Defective Mechanical equipment. Conveyor belts, elevators, boilers, forklifts, bulldozers, valves, and other defective machines and equipment that does not function properly.
- Defective tools. Such as saws, sanders and lathes that do not function properly.
Early investigation of products liability claims can be vital. Appropriate steps to preserve physical evidence, investigate relevant scenes (for example fire losses), and take witness statements are all essential to success. Physical evidence needs to be evaluated by a well-qualified expert as soon as possible. Photographs and videotapes of the product or scene should also be taken as soon as possible. Witness statements need to be taken promptly in order to preserve critical evidence. At Brown & Crouppen, we stand ready to represent you and to promptly take the action necessary to gather and preserve important evidence in order to obtain a successful outcome on your behalf.
