We have represented people with serious hand, arm and shoulder injuries, including lost fingers or crushed hands. We have also handled defective machinery cases involving severe burns, head trauma/brain injury, eye injury or wrongful death.
A product liability claim is a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the defective equipment, as well as other liable parties such as distributors, sellers or maintenance companies. We must prove a design defect, a manufacturing flaw, or failure to warn of known or likely dangers. The Law Offices of Shelley L. Stangler, P.C., has the resources to hire engineers, industrial designers, workplace safety specialists and other experts who can connect the accident to the product.
Ms. Stangler is a talented trial lawyer who will pursue a settlement that covers medical care, lost earnings and personal suffering, or take your case to a jury when necessary.
