Dangerous conditions on property, such as improperly maintained or designed stairs and walkways or unforeseeable hazards at entrances and exits, can result in serious injury. An experienced attorney can help determine whether the law allows compensation for an injury sustained on property of another, and how to obtain the necessary proof, including expert testimony if necessary to support a claim for significant injury.Product Liability
When businesses think more about profits than consumer safety, serious injuries can result. Each year, thousands of disabling injuries occur as a result of defective toys and equipment, electric appliances, and other basic household products. The experienced products liability attorneys at Craig L. Manchik & Associates, P.C. focus their practice on product liability cases involving:
- Medical devices
- Dangerous toys
- Dangerous appliances
- Dangerous vehicles
- Defective products
- Hazardous and dangerous products
Many consumer injuries could be avoided if manufacturers and distributors took just a few extra steps to make their products safer for consumer use. In August 2008 alone, recalls were issued for hazards related to lead paint in cribs, defective emergency lights, personal blenders, gas grills, drawstring sweatshirts, bicycle pedals, and cordless tools. Reports from The Consumer Product Safety Commission indicate that consumer products are responsible for over 13.6 billion emergency room visits each year. The cost of these injuries adds up to more than $368 billion.
