Defective Product Lawyer
Serving Central Florida including Winter Garden, Apopka, Clermont, Inverness, and Leesburg
With so many accidents caused by human error each day, many of us are careful, defensive drivers. We read instructions on new products, follow prescription instructions, and dispose of chemicals and hazardous substances as directed. And we rarely stop to think that the automobiles we are driving, the ladder we may be using, or the medication we might be prescribed could pose a threat to our health or safety.
Cressman Law Firm is there for you when products you trust let you down by putting you or your family at risk. We help clients injured in a variety of defective product accidents, including:
- Defective medications
- Dangerous chemicals
- Defective medical equipment and devices
- Defective auto, truck and SUV parts
- Defective construction equipment and tools
- Defective appliances
- Dangerous toys or baby products
- Defective safety devices (seatbelts, car seats, airbags, helmets)
- Defective elevators/escalators
- Dangerous amusement park rides
- Defective industrial equipment
Defective products can be deemed defective for two distinguishing reasons, a design defect, or manufacturing defect. The design defect indicates a structural problem with the products overall design that renders it inherently dangerous. A manufacturing defect refers to the fact that it was assembled poorly, or incorrectly.
Another quality that can cause a product to become harmful is any part of the creation process which contributes to a product’s misuse. This can include using misleading advertising or promotion, placing product labeling which fails to address safety issues, misrepresenting the product to the media, failing to thoroughly test a product or drug, or providing instructions that fail to lead consumers to use the product in a safe manner. Manufacturers may be held responsible for injuries and deaths that resulted after use of their product if the product is proven to be dangerous or defective.
Attorney Mark P. Cressman continues his quest to make the world a safer place by holding careless manufacturers, distributors and retailers accountable for putting the public at risk with unsafe products.
