Lake Charles Law Firm Lundy Lundy Soileau & South LLP Takes on Defective Product Manufacturer’s
 
The purpose of civil litigation lawsuits is to level the playing field in areas such as manufacturing and safety. Drug manufacturers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, cellphone manufacturers, workplace machine manufacturers, medical manufacturers, and auto manufacturers earn billions of dollars in profits each year, yet the same manufacturers are often careless or downright negligent when it comes to product safety.
 
What are some examples of product manufacturing negligence?
According to Lake Charles Attorneys, Lundy, Lundy, Soileau & South, a law firm which specializes in lawsuits against manufacturers, examples include:

  1. Defective auto airbags
  2. Automobiles which have a high rollover rate
  3. Defective hip replacement equipment.
  4. Unsafe manufacturing machinery
  5. Cell phone radiation
  6. Unsafe weed killers that cause cancer.
 
According to the partners in this Lake Charles product liability law firm, there are literally hundreds of products that have the potential to be considered an unsafe product under the law, and potential clients, particularly if they are searching for lawyers in Lake Charles LA, would be wise to contact an experienced law firm that aggressively specializes in keeping the manufacturer’s honest.
 
Product Liability Law
Keeping a manufacturer honest, and with the public’s safety in mind is called product liability law. And keep in mind, that while the vast majority of suits against a manufacturer are not necessarily to uncover hidden defects the company wants to keep quiet. The Third Restatement of Torts is an influential legal document on the law of product liability. It defines a manufacturing defect as occurring when “the product departs from its intended design even though all possible due care was exercised in the preparation and marketing of the product.” The very translation of this is that strict liability laws make the manufacturer responsible for injuries their product caused, even if tried to minimize such problems. But don’t feel sorry for such manufacturer’s. They take into account the estimated cost of personal lawsuits within their business plan. They plan for and expect liability lawsuits as part of the cost of doing business.
 
The difficulty of multiple causes
​The lawyers in Lake Charles La at Lundy, Lundy, Soileau & South point out that product liability law is not for the faint of heart. Let’s say, for example, a person gets involved in a rollover auto accident with a car that has a high propensity for rollovers. At the same time, the State of Louisiana has not improved the road for many years and there are deep potholes contributing to the accident. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with tires that also have a reputation to contributing to rollovers. Who’s really at fault here? Firms such as Lundy, Lundy, Soileau & South point out that a great many product liability suits do involve multiple causes, and it is up to the expertise of the attorney’s to settle it all out.
 
Examples of Famous Product Liability Cases
1. Phillip Morris was ordered to pay over $28 billion dollars in compensation because their product was alleged to cause a woman lung cancer.
 
2. General Motors had to cough up nearly 20 billion dollars to their customers for a dangerous chemical in their car’s coolant system.
 
3. Dow Corning had to fork over $2 billion dollars when they were sued for making faulty breast implants.
 
4. Although less sizable, McDonald’s had to pay an award of three million dollars in the famous hot coffee spill case.
 
The attorneys at Lundy, Lundy, Soileau & South have collected over a billion dollars for their clients in product liability lawsuits. And can be contacted at 800-259-1005.
