About Product Liability

William Brewer and Bader Giggenbach have handled a wide spectrum of defective product cases:

• Auto defects — air bag or seatbelt injury
• Consumer products
• Defective toys
• Contaminated food products
• Industrial tools and machinery, power tools
• Medical devices — pacemaker, heart valve, morphine pump
• Silicone breast implants

Product litigation requires proof that there was a design flaw or manufacturing defect, and that the manufacturer knew of the defect or should have foreseen it would to be dangerous to the end user. William Brewer's background in physiology proves useful in establishing that the defect directly caused the injury and in determining reasonable damages for the victim's personal losses and medical care. After consulting with top engineers in various fields to examine the product and isolate the defect, we are able to present this highly technical information in "jury-friendly" terms.

A Sample of Cases We've Handled

• We proved that an eye solution used during eye surgery was not chemically balanced as labeled, but in fact contained only water, causing permanent vision impairment.
• Our attorneys obtained wrongful death damages for the family of a man crushed by a soil compacting machine. We showed that a major blind spot prevented the operator from seeing his co-worker in front of the machine.
• We settled before trial in the case of a man who suffered glass shrapnel in his abdomen and face from a fruit beverage bottle that exploded.
• We obtained compensation for a hand injury caused by a defective safety guard on a miter saw.
