Mike has represented numerous workers who have suffered amputation injuries as a result of faulty design of press brake, wood moulder and other cutting machinery. He recovered over $900,000 for a worker being trained on a press break with faulty foot switch causing the amputation of his hand. He is investigating cases against Pfizer for the drug Chantix, used to control nicotine addiction but which causes seizures, blackouts and, at times, suicides shortly after beginning use of the product.
Standing up to Companies that Injure Consumers by Manufacturing Faulty Products
Manufacturers of faulty products are held strictly liable for injuries resulting from use of any faulty product. There are two main theories under which manufacturers can be held liable for faulty products:
- Manufacturers are strictly liable where an injury results from a defective design or an improperly manufactured product
- Manufacturers are also liable for negligent failure to warn the user if a product is dangerous
If you are able to prove just one of these theories, you are able to recover compensation from the manufacturer for your injuries.
Fighting for the Rights of Those Hurt by Pharmaceutical Giants
Some of the most serious injuries result when powerful drug companies manufacture and sell dangerous prescription and over-the-counter medications. The FDA requires a lengthy process for testing and selling such medications. But, unfortunately, there are many instances of approved drugs that have dangerous and sometimes even fatal side effects like the drugs Vioxx, Ortho Evra, Chantix, Prozac and other anti-depressants and Zyprexa. In such instances, the pharmaceutical companies can and should be held responsible for any injuries that develop.
