Minnesota Product Liability Attorneys & Lawyers

In product liability cases, we hold the designers, manufacturers, and sellers responsible for the injuries and harm suffered by buyers and users of dangerous or defective products. For purposes of a product liability case, a “product” involves anything from a car to a costume to a cell phone.

The defects we look for are flaws in the way a particular product was designed, manufactured, or marketed to the public.

TYPES OF PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWSUITS
Dangerous product claims can be based on one of three theories: (1) negligence; (2) strict liability, or (3) breach of warranty of fitness. Minnesota has enacted some comprehensive products liability statutes that address each of these theories of recovery.

Examples of recent prominent product liability cases include:

  • E. Coli, Listeria, and Salmonella Foodborne Illness Outbreaks;
  • Automobile Recalls;
  • Recall of Dangerous Products;
  • ATV Rollover Cases involving the Yamaha Rhino;
  • Dangerous Pharmaceuticals, such as Zicam or Fentanyl;
  • Dangerous Nutritional Supplements, such as Hydroxycut;
  • Candy Recalls, such as Aqua Dots;
  • Toy Recalls; and
  • Other Products that cause Serious Injury or Death

REMEDIES TO PURSUE IN A PRODUCTS LIABILITY CASE
In a product liability action, you are entitled to recover for your pain, suffering and disfigurement, lost wages, medical bills and, in some cases, punitive damages. Our lawyers accept cases involving dangerous products on contingency basis and will front all expenses associated with the investigation of your case. If we recover nothing, you owe us nothing.

TRIAL ATTORNEYS WHO WILL PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS
Product liability lawsuits are some of the most difficult and expensive cases to pursue. They require Minnesota product liability lawyers with the resources to properly evaluate and demonstrate that a product is defective. Defendants in such cases are usually large corporations with seemingly unlimited resources available to defend against product liability lawsuits. The risks to them are incredible. As a result, they often retain some of the largest, most successful defense firms in the country. For that reason, you, too, need a qualified advocate to fight for you.

Minnesota Rollover Accident Attorneys & Lawyers

One of the most traumatic types of accidents that can occur are those that involve a vehicle rollover. In the aftermath of a rollover accident you, or a member of your family, can suffer extremely serious injuries. Fatality rates are higher than with any other type of crash. Consequently, it is imperative that you engage the services of a qualified, experienced and dedicated Minnesota rollover accident attorney to fight for the compensation you deserve.

OVERVIEW OF ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS
There are two general categories of rollover accidents:

Design Defect: Some rollover accidents occur as the result of a design defect. SUV rollovers are the most common example of a design defect rollover case. SUVs are designed with a high center of gravity, which make them more likely to tip and roll over than vehicles. Statistics show that SUV rollovers are three times as likely to occur than a similar situation with passenger vehicles.

Negligence: Other rollover accidents result from the negligence of other drivers on the roadway. As a result of failing to yield, inattentive driving, driver fatigue, driver intoxication or other careless conduct, drivers end up having their vehicles violently rollover, causing serious damage and injury.

ACCESS TO THE RIGHT EXPERTS
Not only do we have qualified rollover accident attorneys available to you through our law firm, we have access to invaluable experts and resources. For example, in a rollover case it is imperative that we be able to demonstrate precisely how and why the accident occurred. We’ve worked with some of the top accident reconstructionists in Minnesota and throughout the country. In design defect cases, we must rely on relationships with vehicle engineers.

COMPENSATION FOR ROLLOVER ACCIDENT VICTIMS
Our lawyers possess a thorough understanding of Minnesota’s motor vehicle insurance laws. If you’ve been injured in a rollover accident, you may be entitled to recover damages, including lost wages, medical bills, replacement service benefits, pain and suffering and, in some instances, punitive relief.
