Wrongful Death Due To Defective Products

It seems as though a product is being recalled every week due to some defect in its design or manufacture or some type of contamination. While there are government agencies charged with protecting consumers and ensuring what we buy is safe, with millions of products being produced in the US each year, it is not surprising that some dangerous, defective products still make their way to store shelves, auto dealerships, and pharmacy counters. Did you know that a consumer has the right to personally enforce laws requiring the manufacturer to design and build safe products?  Product liability is a complicated area of personal injury law that deals with injuries and wrongful deaths suffered due to a product defect. If you or a loved one is seriously injured while using a product, preserve the product then call us at the Duncan Firm. Our lawyers work hard to make the manufacturers of defective products pay for your injuries.

With all the production and manufacturing safety precautions the government has in place, being seriously injured or dying as a result of a defective product ought to be preventable. Should the unthinkable happen, an Arkansas wrongful death lawyer at The Duncan Firm in Little Rock will be able to explain to you how a product liability lawsuit is filed. We will also give you an idea of what compensation the survivors of the deceased may be entitled to if the death was caused by someone else’s negligence.

For over 30 years, our family-run personal injury law firm has handled numerous complex, lengthy product liability cases, and we have had great success getting families just like yours the compensation they deserve. While we fully understand that money will not bring your loved one back, we will fight tirelessly to hold those accountable for their negligence or recklessness. We will get you the financial award you need to pay for medical bills, funeral expenses, and to begin the healing process.

Wrongful Death Cases

When profit is more important than safety, the consumer is at risk. Often times, large corporations will know of danger associated with their product but market it nonetheless. While the FDA and the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) are in place to monitor what makes it to consumers, with the millions of products out there every year, it is not easy to monitor every product as carefully as it should be. Sometimes products will appear safe and yet a defect will be discovered some time later. Frequently, it is too late because lives have already been lost. The Duncan Firm’s wrongful death attorneys have handled claims in which death resulted from:

• Defective automobiles
• Dangerous drugs
• Defective baby equipment and toys
• Defective tires

The Duncan Firm worked diligently for more than 10 years to get compensation for the family of a man killed in an SUV roof crush incident. Had the roof design and manufacture problems not been overlooked, this tragic death never would have occurred. We have also handled many pharmaceutical litigation cases involving drugs such as Digitek, Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella. We will not stop fighting until we get you the compensation we all feel is fair and will help you recover from the devastation that goes with a needless loss such as a death from a defective product.
