The right product liability attorney can seek justice for you. He will know how to use our laws and our civil justice system to hold companies that don’t care, accountable. A manufacturer who manufactures or distributes a product that’s defective, that presents a hazard or a significant risk of injury or death can be held accountable under our laws for manufacturing and selling such a product. This can involve a design defect, a manufacturing defect, or simply a failure to warn or instruct the user of the product, such as a parent, of the hazards involved if it’s not used appropriately.

Are accidents from auto defects common?

Many times in auto accidents either the cause of the accident or the enhanced injury occurs as the result of the defective or faulty design of the vehicle itself. Unfortunately, most of the time that people are involved in single car accidents they have no idea the vehicle cause contributed to it. Many of these cases are never pursued. They never end up in the hands of lawyers. The thing to look for is, in SUVs, high center of gravity , the ability of the vehicle to roll over easily, such as the 15 passenger vans, failure of seatbelts, roof fall in event the vehicle rolls over, defective air bag - the air bag deploys but doesn't deploy at the appropriate time, protecting their occupant.

What are some common child safety hazards in cars?

With respect to automobile safety, there are particular hazards that apply to children. They have to be restrained. Many times there are defective seat belts that upon impact release and the child is ejected from the vehicle. Or they are sitting in a child safety seat, that's inadequately designed or a manufacturing flaw, that will allow the child to be ejected from the vehicle. Once a child is ejected from a vehicle, the seriousness of the injuries increase dramatically because the child does not have the safety of being contained within the vehicle itself. These injures many times devastating. If they don't cause death they can cause spinal cord injury, brain injury or paralysis. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

Tire defects are still a problem on roads in the United States today. They're hard to prevent against because tread separation just happens sometimes spontaneously.

Why are large passenger vans prone to accidents?

The most dangerous vehicle in my experience on the road today is surprising to most people. It's a fifteen passenger van. It has a high center of gravity and once it's loaded up with people and equipment, its handling characteristics change and in bad weather or emergency maneuvers, it can fishtail and roll over. When it rolls over, because its structure is very weak, the roof collapses. When this happens, the injuries can be devastating especially with fifteen people. You have brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis and death. Most people don't realize it - these vans are out they're. They're used by schools, sports teams, hotels, livery services. People ride in them every day and they're completely unaware of the magnitude of the injuries that can occur in one of these vans. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

As an attorney and a child safety advocate, I believe it’s my role not only to provide compensation for an individual child, an individual family that’s suffered injury as the result of a defective toy or product, but also to send the message to the industry, that they can’t get away with it. If they put profits before safety, they’re going to be held accountable, and they’re going to have to change the way they do business so this doesn’t happen to the next child.

Should I have a Domestic Asset Protection Plan?

The best structure for a domestic asset protection plan is generally to use liability protected entities in combination with domestic asset protection trust.

If I was injured in a New York fire, how can a lawyer help me?

If you've been injured in a fire in New York, an attorney can look at the cause of the fire and can also look at how the fire spread and can hire the appropriate experts to determine whether or not the building owner followed the rules that were required under New York state, which are dependent upon when the certificate of occupancy of the building was filed with the building department. And based upon when that certificate of occupancy was filed, there are certain legal obligations and the attorney can look to see if those legal obligations were followed and whether or not if they were not followed if they led to the injuries that you've sustained and they can use the failures of the owners to get you the money you deserve.

How much money can burn victims receive after a New York fire?

How much money an individual is entitled to after sustaining burn injuries in a fire depend on two issues. Number one, they depend on the extent of the injuries. The more badly burned, the more significant the scarring, the more money somebody is entitled to, but there has to be a preliminary finding that the owner of the premises did something wrong to cause the fire or to fail to prevent the spread of that fire.

Can I sue if my neighbor started a fire in my building?

If you've been injured in a fire that one of your neighbors started, you may still be entitled to compensation, depending on a multitude of factors. First of all, when the building constructed, did they follow the regulations that were required according to their certificate of occupancy? Beyond that, were those regulations that they were required to follow, were they up kept? Or did they disregard them at a certain point in time. Lastly, the person that started the fire, they may have some kind of renter's insurance or home owner's insurance that will compensate you. So a skilled attorney can look into the cause of the fire and how the fire spread and attempt to get you fair compensation for the injuries you sustained. I'm Mitchell Proner.

Who pays the claim in a dog bite case?

In a dog bite lawsuit, the dog owner is responsible almost always. And if the dog owner owns a home, then his homeowner's insurance, the general liability provision of his homeowner insurance, will cover, unless the dog has been excluded from the policy. And in many policies in California, specific breeds are excluded, specific dogs are excluded, and specific weight of dogs are excluded from the policies. Otherwise the general liability provision of the insurance policy of a homeowner will cover a dog attack claim. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of the Bisnar-Chase law firm.

What is an attorney's role in a real estate sale?

If you're selling real property, you should have a lawyer advise you because the buyer is entitled to a complete disclosure from you, with respect to the property. And if you don't provide those proper disclosures, the buyer can come back and sue you for misrepresentation, fraud, and failure to disclose. You need a lawyer to properly word and structure the disclosures, so that you're completely protected. If possible, it's good to have an as-if clause added in the contract.

Who's at fault in a dog bite attack?

"In California, if you own a dog and it bites somebody, you're at fault. It's called strict liability. Your dog bites somebody, you're at fault. The only way to get out of that is if the person who was bitten was attacking you, or burglarizing your property. Except for those two items, you're at fault if your dog bites somebody, no ands, ifs or buts. I'm John Bisnar, the senior partner of Bisnar/Chase Law Firm.

What's the biggest mistake made in a car accident claim?

They're trained to be friendly but they are also trained to pay as little as possible on your claim. If they can get you to make a statement that questions liability in your case, or to make a statement that diminishes your damages, they will do it. They're reviewed, they're trained and that's they're objective plain and simple. I'm Attorney Tom Kiley I've been representing the seriously injured, and they're families in Massachusetts for over three decades

What is an auto defect lawsuit?

With regard to the difference between an auto accident case and an auto defect case, its very important to have an experienced lawyer that does auto defect cases to figure out the difference. If you're in an auto accident case, you typically are only going to be able to recover whatever the applicable insurance policy limits are on the person that caused the accident. That could be as low as $15,000. However, if an experienced lawyer is looking at the case they may note that a defect in the vehicle actually caused the injury and then you should have an auto products liability case and recover the full amount of damages you're entitled to. Hi, my name is Brian Chase. I'm a partner with Bisnar / Chase in Newport Beach, California. Our law firm specializes in personal injury litigation, helping accident victims since 1978.
