damages

if you are injured by a defective product, what are you entitled to?

If you were injured or suffered economic damages while using a product, you may have a products liability claim and be entitled to compensation for your injuries or loss. Damages for defective product claims typically come in the form of compensatory damages, which are designed to compensate you for medical expenses, loss of wages, the cost of disability and general damages such as pain and suffering.

Defective product cases typically fall into three categories: defective manufacture, defective design, or failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions regarding the proper use of the product.

To prevail on these claims, you must prove that the product was defective and that the defect was the cause of your injuries.

Tony was the best ever. He was responsive and would answer any questions I had right away. I have had experiences with lawyers who would act like you were bothering them when you had questions. He made me feel like he was treating my case like it was his most important case. Not one complaint and I tell anyone who asks if I know an Attorney about Tony. Thank you again.
