Connecticut Products Liability injury law includes all manner of injuries stemming from defective products either due to the design, manufacturing defect, inadequate warnings and instructions.

In Connecticut, the test of whether a product is defective or not depends upon many factors including the reasonable expectations of the product user, the extent of the potential for harm and the reasonable alternatives available to the Manufacturer or distributor of the product to avoid the harm in the first place.

My firm has obtained the first punitive damages award against a commercial dough mixer company in the nation for failing to install readily available bowl guards which would have prevented a severe crush injury to my client's hand. The Compensatory damages which the Jury awarded were approximately 1.4 million dollars and the jury determined further that the manufacturer's conduct warranted the imposition of additional punitive damages (Hartford, CT, May 2008).

We have also obtained one of the first jury verdicts against a cigarette lighter importer whose Chinese imports were not adequately child resistant and thus a fire which injured several was started by a 4 year old (New London, CT, 2002).

My firm works with all manner of engineering, products design and accident reconstruction specialists who provide essential investigation, reconstruction and expert witness services to for the benefit of our clients. We take an exhaustive approach to developing these claims.

My firm has handled cases involving a wide variety of injuries including, brain injuries, partial paralysis, fractures requiring surgery, and severe lacerations and burns to name a few.

Contact us now and we will aggressively and tirelessly pursue your case. Getting legal help early is perhaps the single most important thing you can do now. Please keep in mind that strict Statute of Limitation periods apply and often case results can be enhanced by early involvement of counsel in order to secure critical evidence, witness statements and avoid unhelpful contact between you and an insurance adjuster or investigator.

We pursue these types of cases, when justified, strictly on a contingency fee basis and advance all costs of investigation which you are not responsible for unless we recover a Judgment or settlement on your behalf.
