Product Defects

Effective Product Liability Attorneys

Tragically, people sustain serious injuries every day. Elevators suddenly drop passengers to the ground, malfunctioning drug pumps overdose patients, failed aircraft engines cause planes to crash, and punch presses amputate machinists' limbs. These are just some of the examples involved in product liability claims.

Defective Products Cause Life-Altering Injuries

The injuries our clients suffer are catastrophic and life altering. In many incidents, these injuries are no accident. The underlying reason may be traced to a defective product or to a known design or manufacturing flaw in an item commonly found in homes and in the workplace.

Greene Broillet & Wheeler's aggressive approach to product liability litigation is a hallmark of the firm. An ongoing commitment to consumer safety and maximizing our client's recovery underscores our practice in cases involving:

Aircraft crashes and disasters
Boats and other watercraft
Burn injuries
Bus accidents
Construction accidents

Farm equipment
Fuel tanks
Gasoline cans
Head injuries

Helmets
Hydraulic lines
Industrial accidents
Industrial equipment
Machines
Medical devices
Motorcycles
Motor vehicle injuries

Critical Evidence

Evidence plays a critical role in a defective product case. It is where we focus our major efforts and resources, and how we prove and win our case. If you believe that you have been injured by a product because of defective design or an unsafe condition, we advise you to keep the product in your possession if possible.

The firm's product liability legal team acts early to gain access to the dangerous product and preserve the evidence to avoid the possibility of tampering.

Attorneys, paralegals, investigative engineers, industrial designers and experts use our secured evidence warehouse and industry intelligence to recreate accidents, and when appropriate, compare alternative designs and prove that manufacturers sometimes knowingly create unsafe products.

We never lose sight of the personal trauma suffered by our clients and make sure the jury does not either. Our commitment to clients is personal and complete.

Making It Real to Jurors

At trial, Greene Broillet & Wheeler lawyers demonstrate why the product was unsafe and how this danger ruined the lives of the innocent and unsuspecting people who used it. We make a jury understand the difficulties of a young man who will spend the rest of his life as a quadriplegic because his tractor rolled over. We also educate them as to why a little girl will never learn beyond the first-grade level because the defective bicycle that she was riding caused her to be in a crash that led to brain injury.

Sending a Message

Many of our seriously injured clients and surviving families may never regain their old lives. We believe that demanding full accountability from the manufacturers of unsafe products serves an important purpose. It provides victims with the right to compensation and an opportunity to send a message. It also provides an incentive for companies to prevent similar harm from occurring to other people.
