Determining the Type of Defect:

  • Design Defects: HLG will investigate whether the product was inherently flawed in its design, making it unreasonably dangerous even when manufactured correctly.

  • Manufacturing Defects: They will determine if there was an error in the manufacturing process that resulted in a deviation from the intended design, making the product unsafe.

  • Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn): HLG will assess if the manufacturer failed to provide adequate warnings or instructions about the product's potential dangers or proper use.

Identifying All Liable Parties:

Building a Strong Case:

  • Expert Witnesses: HLG will work with expert witnesses, such as engineers, product designers, and medical professionals, to provide testimony about the defect, its cause, and the extent of your injuries.

  • Gathering Evidence: They will collect all relevant evidence, including medical records, accident reports, purchase records, and any prior complaints or recalls related to the product.

  • Negotiating with Insurers: HLG will handle all communications and negotiations with insurance companies, advocating for your rights and seeking a fair settlement.

  • Manufacturers: Holding the manufacturer responsible for designing, producing, and selling a defective product.

  • Distributors and Retailers: Investigating whether distributors or retailers knew or should have known about the defect and failed to take appropriate action.

  • Suppliers of Component Parts: If a defective component part contributed to the product's failure, HLG will explore the liability of the component part manufacturer.

Seeking Full Compensation:

  • Medical Expenses: Covering all past and future medical costs related to your injuries.

  • Lost Wages: Recovering lost income and future earning capacity if you are unable to work.

  • Pain and Suffering: Seeking compensation for the physical pain, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life caused by the defective product.
