Although claims against corporations for defective products are vigorously defended by the manufacturers, we have achieved many successful results for our clients. It is important that you, the consumer, choose the right law firm to represent you since product liability cases require extensive litigation experience and substantial monetary resources. We have successfully resolved cases against automobile manufacturers for injuries from poorly-designed occupant safety features, faulty tires, and other defects. We have successfully pursued cases against manufacturers of defective apartment heaters, unsafe ladders, saws, stamp machines, and man-lifts. Some of our results include:

$3,500,000 for an Oakland man who was asphyxiated and put into a permanent coma caused by a faulty apartment heater spewing carbon monoxide into the living space. The two front covers were defectively designed, allowing them to be reversed in location on the heater, which in turn caused the release of the carbon monoxide.  The funds recovered will allow the parents of this young man, who is their only child, to get qualified care for him and help relieve their daily burden providing for him.

$5,036,835 for a worker severely injured in a fall caused by a defective ladder.  The defectively designed locking mechanism on a 40 ft. extension ladder created a ?false lock? which gave way, allowing the ladder to telescope downward, causing the worker to fall over 30 ft. to the concrete floor below.

$450,000 against a major automobile manufacturer for a defect in the design of an automatic transmission that allowed the transmission to slip from park to reverse. The vehicle went into reverse and ran over and killed its driver who had put the vehicle into park and then stepped out for a moment.

$1,000,000 for woman injured in collision on Highway 4 near Pinole, CA when a Firestone tire came apart on a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction, causing a catastrophic collision
