I’ve been working on product liability
0:06
cases since I was a young lawyer in the
0:09
70s the 80s and 90s actually the product
0:11
liability cases were pretty ample for
0:15
the reason the manufacturers weren’t
0:17
guarding their machines in the workplace
0:19
and the torch system did what was
0:20
supposed to do during those years we
0:23
lawyers sued the manufacturers and the
0:25
products were made safer the products
0:27
were guarded during that period of time
0:29
I handled all kinds of product cases
0:31
point of operation injuries uh
0:34
repetitive motion injuries uh it was a
0:37
big part of my practice and the the
0:39
general theory of these cases is simple
0:42
if there’s a risk in in the use of a
0:45
product you design the risk out of the
0:48
product if you can’t design the risk out
0:50
of the product you guard against the
0:52
risk if you can’t guard against the risk
0:55
and many companies and manufacturers
0:57
will remove guards for efficiency and to
1:00
be able to produce products faster then
1:03
you warn against the the the risk and
1:05
the US you user assumes the risk of the
1:09
injury utilizing that theory we have
1:12
successfully handled product liability
1:14
cases and taking them to a good and just
1:18
result I have the experience to do that
1:21
and if you are injured in the workplace
1:23
or at home by a defective product as as
1:25
defined Ohio law we can handle that case
