We handle automobile products. We handle, actually, the fireworks are technically usually a products liability. We handle tire detread cases. But mainly the products we see, actually, I’ve got a couple of e-cig cases where you’ve got defective batteries that are blowing up and catching on fire. But most of the products liability cases we see are automotive. And most of the cases we look at we end up not taking because you’ve got to have somebody that’s either catastrophically injured or, unfortunately, passed away in order to be able to justify taking on one of the auto manufacturers. Because the experts and the expenses are so high that if an airbag doesn’t go off but all you did was hurt your back and go to the chiropractor you’re never going to be able to justify spending the amount of money it takes to prosecute that case.
These are cases that its so, so important to get with a lawyer early because without the product there is no case. And we see that a lot of times in vehicle cases the client, the family may wait 60 days well, by then the car’s already been scrapped, salvaged, sold, crushed, whatever and we can’t win that case without that product. So it’s very, very important to get with a lawyer early on when you think there’s something wrong with the product.
