Each day, we depend on a myriad of manufactured products to accomplish our daily tasks and live comfortably. We drive our cars to work, clean our houses, and keep our children entertained with toys and games. Normally, we don’t give much thought as to whether or not the products and goods we use are safe – we assume that every item we use has been tested, examined, and approved for distribution and widespread use.

However, although there are laws and regulations in place to protect you and your family from harmful or defective products, the system is far from perfect. According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), consumer products are responsible for 22,000 deaths and 29 million injuries a year. These product defects cost our country $500 billion in annually and the number of recalls each year range between 200 and 300 products.

At Thomas M. Kiley & Associates, we are your last protection against the system that has failed you and your family. It is imperative for us to pursue your case to the furthest extent of the law – not only to obtain a fair and just compensation for the injuries you have incurred due to a faulty or harmful product, but also to ensure that the product in question does not harm others in the future. We want you to collect the money you deserve and for the product that caused you pain to be removed from the market.

There is a vast array of dangerous and defective products, spanning from the harmful side effects of a new prescription drug to the choking hazard of a toddler’s toy. Product liability cases can usually be placed into one of several more general categories.

Car, truck, and motorcycle defects. Your motor vehicle could have defective or ineffective seatbelts or airbags. Your truck could have faulty breaks or a dangerous and unexpected tire blowout. Your SUV could have a deadly design flaw. Defective cars and trucks often lead to some of the most serious injuries.

Work-related product defects. If you work with heavy equipment like cranes, lifts, or tractors and are injured on the job, it may be due to defective machinery or because the manufacturer of the machinery did not include proper instructions for safe use.

Home and personal products. Everyday appliances in your home such as space heaters, fire extinguishers, or pressure cleaners could lead to serious injury. Cleaning products that lack warnings regarding their proper use could put family members at serious health risks.

Toys and baby products. From life-threatening cribs to toys with small parts that can be choking hazards, there are a number of products your children use each day that could poise a threat to their health and wellbeing.

In general, if a product is unreasonably dangerous, or if a product does not include sufficient warnings or instructions, you have grounds for a product liability case.

Don’t continue to let your medical bills related to your accident pile up. Don’t assume that you were to blame simply because you were the one who was injured. Prevent someone else or someone else’s child from being harmed as your family was harmed. Let Thomas Kiley help you recover compensation, find justice, and move on with your life.
