Haslam and Gallagher has successfully represented clients seriously injured by dangerous products against manufactures in Product Liability lawsuits.

Product Liability Cases Include:

• Garnett Machinery (Cotton): Arm aputation from inadequate safety fence, $1.4 million.
• Hammerblow Trailer Hitch: Defective spring in action of the collar caused detachment of trailer from thevehicle. $2 million verdict, affirmed on appeal. We have prosecuted additional cases to confidential settlements.
• Pavement Saw: Failure to follow ANSI standards in the design and manufacturing of the saw.
• Yoohoo Chocolate Beverage Drinks: Several Confidential settlements for eye injuries fom exploding bottles.
• GM defective door latch resulting in passenger ejection
• Failing to incorporate an airbag in automobiles.
  

After successfully prosecuting several eye injuries for exploding Yoohoo bottles, we were instrumental in Yoohoo changing their bottle caps from screw top lids to pop off lids. Now when you purchase Yoohoo drinks the cap is easily removable.

The area of product liability has become far more complicated after tort reform measures passed to protect manufactures of defective products. Settlement credits, medical subrogation claims, third party liability, and limitations on evidence, futher handicap the injured.

We will be glad to visit with you about your injury.
