Defective Products, Defective Medical Devices, Auto Defects

Serious injuries can be caused by a variety of consumer products, from something as small as a heart stent or mislabeled pills to something as large as an automobile.  At Contrada & Associates in Toledo, Ohio, we represent clients who have suffered injuries due to dangerous product defects.

Types of defective product cases

At Contrada & Associates, our experience with defective products is important.  You may have a claim against the manufacturer for defective design, defective manufacture, or failure to warn about proper use and risks. We will investigate the circumstances surrounding your injury and the product involved and use our team of industrial experts to evaluate your case.  For example, an aerosol shaving cream container exploding and injuring you could be the basis for an action against the manufacturer.  A defectively designed tool or appliance, such as a toaster, hammer, or bicycle, can cause serious injury.  Any household product or small appliance that is defective and hurts you can result in a defective product case.

Motor vehicle-related defective product cases

Our attorneys have also handled defective product cases related to motor vehicles.  Tires that are too large or too small for a certain automobile or truck rim can separate.  Mismatched tires can create hazards as well.  Auto rollovers and improperly designed fuel tanks and brakes can be the cause of catastrophic injuries.  Defective airbags and seatbelts that malfunction can cause life-threatening and fatal injuries.  Our job is to identify the issues and determine if they are actionable.  If we take on your auto defect case, you can count on experienced and aggressive representation to get the damages you deserve.

Defective medical products and devices, pharmaceuticals

Medical devices, intended to enhance life, can sometimes cause long-term harm.  Manufacturing and design defects in products such as heart stents, artificial joints, implants, and pharmaceuticals can cause permanent harm.  Contrada & Associates is experienced in individual and class action lawsuits involving defective medical products and devices.  We can help you if you have been injured from a medical device, and have successfully represented clients in both individual and class action lawsuits.

Class actions/out-of-state law firms

Many people are leary of getting caught up in a class action or dealing with an out-of-state law firm, and rightly so. Clients have hired us many times over the years to help them deal with class actions and out-of-state law firms. We have decades of experience handling class action cases in partnership with out-of-state attorneys representing the class. Call us for local representation, and for help in assessing national representation.

Compassionate and caring representation for you and your family

There are no specific products that result in a defective product case.  We encourage you to contact us and put our experience to work immediately.  If we accept your case, we will implement strategies to either settle or litigate the matter.  For more information or to schedule an appointment to discuss any injury you suffered, please call us at 419-841-4400 or 866-841-4400 or click here to contact us online.
