Unsafe products injure or kill thousands of people every year. How many? The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports more than 22,000 deaths and 29 million injuries annually are related to unsafe consumer products. The list of dangerous products includes everything from automobiles, insulation and medical devices to pharmaceutical drugs and many more. Victims injured by faulty products have the right to seek economic damages (lost wages or medical expenses), non-economic damages (pain and suffering) and sometimes punitive damages (to punish reckless behavior). While no amount of money can adequately compensate the victims of unsafe products, it’s important to note that if you win your case, you will also be helping to bring to justice those responsible and contribute to public safety.
Manufacturers of dangerous products often have deep pockets, a long list of “medical experts,” and the resources to fight a protracted battle. At Hensley│Chalfant, we have the medical knowledge, legal experience, resources and commitment to help you fight back—and win!
