Consumer Protection
You work hard so that you can buy things you either want or need. Many people need vehicles, medicine, and more to get by. When you have these things, you expect they will do what they're supposed to do. The car will run, the toaster will work, and the prescription pills you take will make you feel better. Sadly, this is not always the case.
We have all heard the term "lemon" as it is applied to vehicles that don't work the way they're supposed to. However, this term doesn't have to simply do with a vehicle not running. Many things can fail: airbags, brakes, tires. You may also consider other things you buy and don't work as lemons, too. Children's toys and highchairs, tools, food, and virtually anything you purchase as a consumer can fail. These failures can result in injury or even death. Many times this is the result of a flaw at the manufacturer or processing plant.
Different government entities have the role of protecting the population from being harmed by companies that are more concerned with making money than making products that actually work. Though the recent recall of salmonella-tainted peanut products made big news and the government took notice, and will hopefully render justice to the families of those who died, sometimes large companies are able to quietly get away with mistakes. In these cases, the affected parties may want to consider speaking to an experienced defective product attorney.
Defective product, or product liability, is a practice area Stipe & Belote, LLP, has experience in. Because you should not have to settle for simply taking your lumps when you are injured by a defective product, we help to ensure that you are provided with compensation, as well as make the company, large or small, accountable for their negligence.
Consumer protection should be taken seriously by those we assume will protect us. When that fails, and you or a loved one has been injured, you need to speak with someone who cares about your well-being. If you have become involved in an incident you believe was caused by a negligent party, please contact the experienced product liability lawyers of Stipe & Belote, LLP.
