When a product fails and someone consequently suffers serious injuries or death, it undermines our trust — and can cost victims a lot of money. Heuer Fischer, P.A. work closely with individuals who suffer injuries because of defective products.
While much attention is given to children's product safety failures, serious injury and death can happen to people of all ages. These injuries come from poorly designed or poorly manufactured products in a broad range of categories: consumer electronics, sports and recreation, household goods, furniture, food, appliances, cars and automotive components (tires, brakes, air bags, etc.).
To what degree are those who design, manufacture and sell products responsible for safety? Simply, each party who is commercially engaged in making and selling a product should ensure that it is reasonably safe for use as intended.
For example, a bicycle is not safe for riding off a 100-foot cliff — no manufacturer would claim it is and no reasonable consumer would expect as much. But under normal conditions the bicycle parts should hold together, steer with ease and have working brakes such that the bicyclist can ride it safely in traffic. If the brakes fail because they were poorly designed or improperly made, one or several parties (including sometimes the retailer, who is expected to carry safe products) should cover the financial burden imposed upon the consumer due to injuries.
