Are ATVs susceptible to product liability cases?
The key area for people to think about when we're talking about defective design and product liability is the all-terrain vehicles. The all-terrain vehicles are basically unstable. They tend to roll over, and have definite susceptibility to massive injuries. So you want to think of defective design, you can think of the Yamaha all-terrain vehicle as a good example of defective design causing catastrophic injury. I'm Attorney Jim Sokolove.

What should I look for in a good product liability attorney?
If someone is injured and sustains catastrophic injury as a result of a defective product and they’re searching for an attorney to handle a product liability law suit, they should look for the same types of things that they should look for in any personal injury attorney. Which first of all, is experience in that particular field, and the law firm having the wherewithal – the funding and the finance – to take this case all the way through. Because it’s going to be very expensive for a law firm to take this case from discovery through trial. So you want to go to a firm that has had trial experience and has the capital and the experience to bring these cases forward. I’m attorney Jim Sokolove. If you’ve been injured, call us.

How common are injuries from children's toys?
In 2006 there were approximately 220,000 child injuries as a result of defective products that are sold in this country. They range from defective toys that present strangulation, or choking hazards to defective bicycles, ATVs, scooters, child seats, playpens just about anything you can imagine your child comes in contact with. What happens is these corporations that make these products put profit before safety. They don't care about our children. We trust them to make products that are safe and will not harm our children, and they don't follow thorough on the responsibility. I'm attorney Tom Kiley, I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Is it hard to win a product liability case?
Product liability lawsuits are David and Goliath. It's the individual who's been injured versus, generally, the large manufacturer. And they are very, very difficult claims. And a lawyer is not gonna take on these claims unless, number one, the injury is catastrophic in a product liability claim, and two, he can get an expert to review the design to show that there was defectiveness and negligence in the manufacturing and design process.

What is product liability?
A product liability lawsuit is when, uh, someone is injured, and the thought is that the manufacturer of the product is negligent in there manufacturing or design of the product, and that product caused catastrophic injury. A very good example is when Ford Motor Company made their gas tanks that they knew were gonna cause some severe injuries. It’s a case of putting profits ahead of people.
