Therefore, you need a product defect attorney on your side that understands that defenses these companies often mount to combat your claim. The Trial Attorneys will walk with you through the process proving your case and receiving compensation for your injuries.

What's the Compensation?

Compensatory damages cover the victim's losses, and in cases of malice or recklessness, punitive damages may also be awarded. Each situation is unique and must be evaluated individually.
