Minnesota Product Liability Lawyers Level the Playing Field for Personal Injury Victims

According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, on average, defective products injure 29.5 million Americans every year and kill another 22,000.  Maybe the product was manufactured or assembled carelessly.  Maybe the company who made the product just wasn’t willing to spend the money to properly design or test the product before releasing it to market. Regardless of what created the danger in the defective product, almost all of these injuries and deaths could have been prevented if the manufacturer had followed accepted safety rules. 

So why don’t product manufacturers follow accepted safety rules?  Too often the answer is as simple as it is ugly: money.  They aren’t willing to spend the money to hire enough engineers to design their products correctly; they aren’t willing to spend the money to properly test a new product before releasing it to market; they aren’t willing to spend the money to buy the best raw materials or components; or they aren’t willing to spend the money to create proper quality assurance procedures. 

But manufacturers are more than willing to spend money to protect their coffers in product liability lawsuits.  The corporate manufacturers know that product liability cases are inherently complex and expensive to prosecute.  So many manufacturers simply try to outspend the product liability attorney representing the injured person.  They count on making the cases so complex with engineering principles and legal arguments that most lawyers won’t handle product liability cases.  The corporate manufacturers know this.  In fact, they count on it.  They count on an unlevel playing field. 

That’s where the product liability lawyers at Champion Law come in.  We level the playing field for injury victims. 

OUR PRODUCT LIABILITY PHILOSOPHY - HOW WE WIN

We believe in a few principles to get top value for our product liability clients.  First, we master the engineering and science behind the injury-causing product and its failure. We believe that mastering the science in product liability cases is just as important as mastering the law.  We work tirelessly to become experts on the products that injured our clients, how they are supposed to work, and how they failed.  We don’t just sit behind our desks.  We get our hands dirty.  We personally inspect accident scenes, tinker with products to see how they work and get dirt under our fingernails.  In fact, our product liability lawyers are often seen perusing local salvage yards or searching for evidence in highway ditches. 

Second, we hire the best engineering experts in the country.  Product liability cases can come down to a “battle of the experts” – in other words, whichever side hires the better and more credible engineering expert wins.  So we level the playing field by spending the money to hire the best around.  Often that means hiring several experts from all over the country to work on a single case. 

Third, we won’t be bullied by the corporate giants.  We will spend the time and money to take on big business and their war coffers.  We have the guts and experience to stand up in front of juries anywhere in the country to tell our clients’ stories.  We don’t settle our client’s product liability cases for the corporate manufacturer’s first offer.  We settle them for full value or we try them. 

Last, we believe in putting in the time on every product liability case we handle.  That means fewer cases, and more attention to you and your product liability case.
