Tennessee Products Liability

If you have been injured by a defective product or one that turned out to be dangerous, you may be wondering about your legal rights.  Defective product cases fall under a legal category known as product liability.  This area of law allows consumers to hold manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and retailers accountable when they place unsafe products on the market.

Tennessee product liability cases give victims the opportunity to recover compensation for their injuries.  In order to have a successful defective product case, you need to prove that the product was “in a defective condition or unreasonably dangerous at the time it left the control of the manufacturer or seller.”  According to Tennessee law, to determine if a product was unsafe or dangerous the scientific and technological knowledge available to the manufacturer or seller will be applied.

There is a deadline as to when you can file a Tennessee product liability claim.  It is important to contact a Nashville product liability attorney immediately following an injury.  The manufacturer or other responsible party will work hard to make sure that you do not win your case, which is why you need an experienced Nashville injury lawyer on your side.  Contact Phillip Miller & Associates at 800-337-HURT (4878) or 615-356-2000 for legal advice regarding your defective product case.

Defective Cribs Linked to Serious Injuries & Deaths

When you place your sleeping infant in a crib, you shouldn’t have to worry about the possibility of your child sustaining injuries.  Unfortunately, some manufacturers have produced cribs that pose significant safety hazards to children.

Within the last two years, millions of cribs have been recalled following reports of injuries and deaths.  In 2007, nearly one million Simplicity cribs were recalled after two infants were killed by a major design flaw in the hardware.  It was discovered that when the drop-side rail on the Simplicity crib was installed upside down, it could fail and cause the infant to become entrapped. 

Delta Enterprise Corp. had to recall one of its cribs after receiving a report of the death of an 8-month-old child.  Close to one million cribs were included in the recall.  It turns out that some of the Delta cribs were missing safety pegs, causing a risk of entrapment and suffocation for young children.

Manufacturers can be held liable when they place unsafe products on the market.   During a defective children’s product lawsuit, your attorney must prove that the manufacturer did not adequately warn consumers about the product's possible dangers or that there was a design or manufacturing defect in the product that made it unreasonably dangerous.

The defective product attorneys at Phillip Miller & Associates know what it takes to win an unsafe product lawsuit and can help you.  Call (800) 337-HURT or (615) 356-2000 today for legal advice regarding your defective product case.

Yamaha ATV - the ATV with a Difference

The Yamaha Rhino is an ATV with a difference. Apparently on level ground and at low speeds this "ATV" will rollover during a turn. All Yamaha Rhino 450 and 660 model vehicles have been recently recalled by Yamaha for repairs. Unfortnately there have been at least 46 deaths from rollovers by people using the Rhino. These are never simple lawsuits, the companies almost always fight hard and blame the dead or injured for not realizing how unsafe the product really was.
