These defective products can lead to serious injuries and can even result in death.

The product liability lawyers at Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool And The Law Office Of William A. Gallina, LLP have the knowledge, experience and resources to fight for your rights against the large corporations that injure or kill consumers with unsafe products.

What Are The Categories For A Product Liability Claim?

The most common product liability claims are design defects, manufacturing defects and failure to warn defects.

Design Defects

These claims involve products that have defective designs. In these situations, the product was manufactured as designed, but the design itself was problematic; the company designing the product failed to account for the defect or problem that caused a death. Design defect claims focus on negligence on the part of the manufacturer of the product.

Manufacturing Defects

Defective manufacturing claims involve products that were constructed improperly. Defective parts, poor workmanship and low-quality materials are common causes of manufacturing defects. These claims focus on product malfunctions that put the consumer at risk. The manufacturer may be liable in these cases.

Failure To Warn Defects

Failure to warn defects are also referred to as “marketing defects.” These claims state that the manufacturer failed to adequately inform the consumer of the possible side effects or dangers of using the product in a certain way. Manufacturers are required to provide product warnings consistent with federal and industry guidelines; if manufacturers fail to do this, they may be liable.

Who Is At Risk Of A Product Liability Death?

Any product can be defective, but certain categories of products typically pose more risks than others.

Heavy equipment and machinery can lead to death if defectively designed, not properly used or improperly maintained.
Vehicle defects in cars, buses, trains and other forms of transportation can cause fatal accidents.
Products that emit toxic vapors, fumes or have caustic properties can be fatal and must provide adequate warning in regards to protective clothing and ventilation.
Certain prescription drugs may have dangerous side effects if consumed in a certain way.
Contaminated food can spread diseases or illnesses that pose a major health risk.

If someone you know has died as a result of faulty equipment or inadequate labeling of dangers, you may be eligible for compensation from the manufacturer.

REVIEWS

I am so glad I found this firm when I was searching for personal injury attorneys in New York. I contacted them through their website and they scheduled a free consultation immediately. I was nervous at first because I never had to deal with a personal injury case but I was informed about the procedure and timeline very thoroughly. From the beginning until the end my slip and fall case was professionally examined. The attorneys at this firm are very attentive and friendly too. All in all I’m very satisfied with my settlement, and I would not go anywhere else if I had a personal injury case in New York again.

Now that we have approached the close of my medical malpractice case, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool And The Law Office Of William A.

Eric

After my super fell down in an elevator shaft at work, he reached out to Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool And The Law Office Of William A. Gallina, LLP for help. From the beginning until the end, the attorneys and the staff at this firm have helped him so much. The attorneys at this firm are not only hardworking and professional but also very down to earth and kind. The injury was due to a negligent failure to lock the elevator and the firm was able to settle the case for a very suitable amount of money. We recommend this firm to anyone who is looking for a very nice treatment, and I would go to them if I was in a hardship like my superintendent.

Monica

We are so grateful for your firm’s commitment to my mom’s case and all the hard work and sacrifice you poured into the case. We were impressed with the trial exhibits that were used during the trial, and I was especially happy with the witnesses they called. It was evident that they did their homework over the past 8 years before the trial. They were very prepared and astute with cross-examination, and the decisions made during the trial proved in favor for my mom. I am so pleased with your law firm and will recommend your firm to friends and family.

Stephanie & Evelyn

Attorney Washor recently won a car accident case I was involved in. The process was very thorough and everyone at the firm was patient, professional, and understanding during my involvement there. I really recommend Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool And The Law Office Of William A. Gallina, LLP if you are involved in an accident.

Jessica

Dear Mr. Gallina, I would personally like to thank both you and Pablo for the way that you handled my aunt’s lawsuit. Pablo was outstanding. When he gave his presentation, I found him to be meticulous to detail and able to think quickly on his feet. He always kept focus on the “big picture.” I would like to think I would have written this note regardless of the outcome of the case. Winning, though, does make it nicer. My aunt would have been pleased with the outcome.

Nick

Extremely satisfied with the results. Barry Washor is a top medical malpractice attorney and with his lead, my results couldn't have been better. You have to trust these guys and schedule a consultation before reaching out to any other firms. They are very attentive to detail and they always make sure to listen to different sides of your case. The attorneys are very experienced and they have had so many exemplary cases on medical malpractice. Strongly recommended if you're looking to WIN.

Jennifer

My wife and I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the personal care and attention that you and your office has directed towards our family in our time of need. We are greatly appreciative of your professionalism and wish you and your family all the best.

Barton

Dear Mr. Gallina, It is well known that doctors do not like lawyers, but this is not what this letter is about. I was asked to give expert testimony, something that I normally decline. I had the pleasure of working with Pablo Sosa on a case. I found him to be extremely well organized, personable, focused, and directed in his assessment of the case. It was a pleasure from the first to last, and I would be remiss if I did not let you know.
