Products Liability

Kansas City Product Liability Attorney

Our product liability lawyers represent people in Kansas, Missouri, and nationwide who suffer catastrophic injuries or the wrongful death of a family member due to dangerous or defective consumer products.

When you have been injured by the negligence of a big corporation or its defective, you have an adversary who has unlimited resources to defend itself. We are the lawyers who make it possible for average people to go to court, battle them toe to toe, and win. Our lawyers have taken on such companies as General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Goodyear, Bridgestone/Firestone, B.F. Goodrich, Continental/General Tire, Cooper Tire, Wal-Mart, Turbomeca, S.A., Teledyne Continental Motors, Cessna Aircraft Company, and Great Dane Trailers. We have obtained multimillion dollar recoveries for our clients, including:

• $26 million for the family of a husband and wife who died in a small plane crash in North Carolina. The settlement is reportedly the largest of its kind ever recorded in North Carolina.
• $25 million for a respiratory therapist on a Life Flight helicopter which crashed while transporting a patient to St. Luke's hospital in Kansas City, Missouri.
• $15 million for a tire serviceman for Anderson Tire Service who suffered severe brain injuries when a Goodyear multi-piece wheel rim assembly explosively separated.
• A confidential settlement for a young boy who was badly burned when a defective space heater caused a fire in his home.
• A confidential settlement for two young boys who were seriously injured when the Ford Bronco II in which they were riding suffered a tire tread separation and rolled over multiple times on Interstate 35 in Oklahoma.
• A confidential settlement for a young woman who was severely burned when a GMC C/K pickup truck with a sidesaddle gas tank pulled out in front of her and burst into flames in the collision.
• $4.75 million for a customer of the Greater Kansas City Skydiving Club who was killed in a fire following the crash of a Cessna 206 which suffered catastrophic engine failure.

If you have been injured or a family member has died due to a dangerous or defective product that is dangerous or defective, it is important to hire a lawyer who has access to the appropriate expertise to reconstruct what happened and why, and to present it in a persuasive manner to a jury. Our product liability attorneys have access to an experienced team of experts we commonly use in these cases. We handle all types of defective or dangerous product cases, including:

• Airplanes and helicopters
• Trucks and automobiles, including tires and wheel rims
• Electrical appliances
• Space heaters
• Toys and sporting equipment

Contingency Fee Representation

Our lawyers represent product defect victims on a contingency fee basis. We invest our time, our efforts, and our money purely with the objective of making a recovery for you or your family. Only if you recover damages do we collect fees for our time and efforts. The costs and expenses that we have advanced to prove your case will be reimbursed to us only if you recover. You have no liability for costs or expenses unless a court directs otherwise. This system, which is unique to the American justice system, makes it possible for our clients – citizens like you – to stand toe to toe with the world’s largest corporations and insurance companies.
