Sacramento Defective Products Attorney
As a consumer, you would expect a product brought into the home is free of dangers or defects, however, because of negligent or careless manufacturer practices, hundreds of products every year are unfit for consumer use or consumption. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death from thousands of products, more than 400 products are recalled every year in the United States. Although the injury and death rate associated with dangerous products has declined over the past 30 years, preventable injuries and deaths still occur.
The Sacramento defective product attorneys at the law firm of Estey Bomberger have the dedication, financial resources and legal knowledge to go up against large corporations, their insurance carriers and defense lawyers. At our firm, we do not represent big business or insurance companies, only individuals who have suffered a serious injury or loss. Our years of experience handling serious injury and wrongful death cases have given us an advantage when pursuing fair and just compensation for our clients that other law firms cannot match. We know how important a fair settlement can be for a client's future security and will not rest until a successful outcome has been achieved.
Investigating a Sacramento Defective Product Case
Following an injury or death by a defective product, an in-depth investigation of the dangerous product must be conducted. The defective product should not be thrown away, but preserved for examination. Also, any packaging, pamphlets or instructions that came with the product should be kept. At Estey Bomberger, our investigators will take photographs and measurements of the product, and any other evidence that may help prove liability. A product may be considered defective for many reasons, such as:
- Inadequate warnings
- Damage from shipping or delivery
- Insufficient or confusing instructions
- Flawed design
- Inadequate or fraudulent testing
- Improper installation
- Faulty assembly
- Use of hazardous material
- Inadequate repair.
Dangerous Prescription Drugs & Medical Devices
The Sacramento wrongful death attorneys at Estey Bomberger have handled cases involving auto parts, household appliances, power tools, heavy machinery, household cleaning products, children's toys and products, medical devices and prescription drugs. Due to the passage of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act in 1992, which allows the FDA to collect fees from drug manufacturers to expedite the testing and review process, many drugs have been placed on the market without sufficient investigation of potential side effects. While the availability of certain drugs has improved, consumer safety has deteriorated. The number of injuries and deaths related to the use of prescription drugs and defective medical devices has increased considerably over the years.
