PRODUCT LIABILITY/DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

Defective products make their way into the marketplace each year, causing countless injuries to unsuspecting consumers.

Some products are manufactured incorrectly, some are designed wrong and some fail to warn consumers about hidden dangers. Each of these defects can cause serious or deadly injuries.

Our law firm has handled many large and complex product liability cases with outstanding results. In fact, we are on the cutting edge, often creating new laws that protect consumers through our cases. You may be surprised to know that most products do not have to be made to any specifications. It is up to the maker of the product to design, build and sell a safe product. So how do you hold manufacturers accountable for their poor products?

Rossetti and DeVoto will utilize only the best experts in their chosen fields to demonstrate that products are defective. In addition, these experts will rely on industry standards and government standards to prove the product defect. We also search to find out how many other incidences of injury that the product has caused by networking with other attorneys and searching government databases.

If you think you have been injured by a defective product, contact us and we will be glad to review your case. Here are seven things you should do immediately:

1. Save the product!

2. If you have the product, protect it from the weather and do not use it again.

3. If someone else has the product, tell them to keep it and contact an attorney who can file a motion to have a court order the product be preserved.

4. Locate and save all store receipts, purchase materials, owner’s manuals and anything else that you have that identifies the product and where it came from.

5. If you have witnesses, write their names down and get their addresses and phone numbers.

6. Contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission to advise them of the defective product and to see if your product has been recalled.

7. Contact us to review your case at no obligation.
