Too often, products are marketed and developed that do not have the necessary safeguards or warnings to ensure that persons are not injured. Generally, the manufacturer is responsible for ensuring a product's safety before it goes on the market. However, if a product does cause an injury after it reaches the consumer, anyone involved in the design, manufacturing, marketing, or sale of the product may be held liable for damages, depending on the nature of the defect. Our firm has significant expertise representing victims of defective products with a particular expertise in automobile defects and automobile crashworthiness. We have a team of engineers and other experts who can carefully review your case with our lawyers.

Knowing the crashworthiness of an automobile is important whether it be for a high-speed collision, side impact collision, or an SUV rollover. Our lawyers in Philadelphia and New Jersey have experience litigating cases where serious injuries were sustained as a result of a defect in an automobile's design. For example, modern sport utility vehicles are especially hazardous since they are top heavy and most susceptible to a rollover. However, the modern SUV design lacks roll bars, a safety feature on the original SUV design to reduce injuries in the event of a rollover. Our lawyers in Philadelphia have a proficient understanding of automobile safety and have represented many plaintiffs in cases where product defects lead to unnecessary or tragic results.
