A couple of years ago, the attorney received their first pressure cooker case through a referral from an out-of-state colleague. The recommendation came after someone posted a question on a national listserv seeking a product liability attorney in Colorado, where the attorney’s office is located. Intrigued by the opportunity and being drawn to products, the attorney accepted the case despite not having prior experience with pressure cooker cases.
To familiarize themselves with the workings of pressure cookers, the attorney purchased one and disassembled it. This hands-on approach allowed them to understand the mechanisms involved and informed the process of drafting the complaint for the case. Although the specifics of the mentioned case were resolved through a confidential settlement, the attorney discovered numerous cases against the same company and others manufacturing electric pressure cookers nationwide during the process.
Recognizing the prevalence of such cases, the attorney has since incorporated pressure cooker cases into their legal practice, adding another niche alongside their focus on electric blankets and artificial hip failures. This shift is notable as pressure cooker cases have become more prominent, partly replacing the previous focus on electric blanket cases, which have seen a decline in incidents involving fires.
Denver, CO personal injury lawyer George McLaughlin talks about his experience in handling exploding pressure cooker cases. A few years ago, the attorney was introduced to their inaugural pressure cooker case via a referral from an out-of-state colleague. The recommendation arose from a question posted on a national listserv, where someone sought a product liability attorney in Colorado, the location of the attorney’s office. Intrigued by the opportunity and motivated by a curiosity for product-related cases, the attorney accepted the challenge despite lacking prior experience in pressure cooker litigation.
To gain a comprehensive understanding of pressure cookers, the attorney acquired one and meticulously disassembled it. This hands-on exploration enabled them to grasp the intricate mechanisms, laying the foundation for drafting the complaint in the case. While the specific details of that case were resolved through a confidential settlement, the attorney unearthed multiple cases against the same company and others manufacturing electric pressure cookers across the nation.
Acknowledging the prevalence of these cases, the attorney has since integrated pressure cooker litigation into their legal practice, establishing it as another focus area alongside their expertise in electric blankets and artificial hip failures. This strategic shift is particularly noteworthy as pressure cooker cases have gained prominence, gradually supplanting the prior emphasis on electric blanket cases, which have witnessed a decline in incidents involving fires.
