Our decades of experience with product liability has made us leading litigators on a state and national level. Almost forty years ago, The Beasley Firm received the highest-ever verdict against an aviation company at the time in the amount of $29 million against the Cessna aircraft company. Jim Beasley demonstrated that 175,000 airplanes had been manufactured by Cessna with a defective pilot seat, which killed pilot Keith Harper. We have demanded that manufacturers make safer products by sending the message that safety should never be an option, but a requirement. Consumer safety should never be sacrificed for corporate and manufacturers' profitability.
Other accomplishments at The Beasley Firm include:
When you buy a product, you have every right to assume that the product should be safe and fit for normal and ordinary use. Too many times, however, major corporations place the interests of maximizing profitability over consumer safety. In some instances, this happens even after product recalls continue to market the dangerous and defective product.
Unfortunately, many people have been killed or catastrophically injured due to dangerous products when the manufacturer knew, or should have known, of the danger and failed to remove the defective product from the stream of commerce. If a dangerous or defective product has harmed you or killed your loved one, our product liability firm in Philadelphia can investigate what caused the injuries and which parties are responsible under the law.
The legendary and experienced team at The Beasley Firm works with investigators and experts to recover compensation for injuries, pain and suffering, lost income, and medical expenses to hold the wrongdoers responsible. Product liability cases present some of the most complex and challenging cases for many lawyers to handle and require a great deal of experience and expertise. Thankfully, our firm has offered a high level of insight into these cases since our establishment in 1958.
Product liability claims typically fall within three categories:
Common product liability cases that The Beasley Firm handles include:
Our Philadelphia product liability lawyer would have to demonstrate that the defect cause the plaintiff's injuries. This often requires expensive and complex engineering, accident reconstruction, and diligent investigation. It is also important for the plaintiff to demonstrate that the product was used in a reasonable manner.
In a product liability lawsuit, you can seek both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include medical bills, lost wages due to time off work, replacement or repair costs for the defective product, physical therapy bills, or other monetary losses associated with your injury. Non-economic damages may include compensation for pain and suffering, mental anguish, or emotional distress due to the injury.
It is best to file a product liability lawsuit as soon as possible after an injury has occurred. In Pennsylvania, the "statute of limitations" for filing an injury claim is two years from the date of the accident. However, Pennsylvania follows the "discovery rule," which means that if the injured person did not discover the injury right away, then the "clock starts" for that two-year-deadline when the injury was actually discovered or should have been discovered.
Yes, you can still pursue a product liability action even if the product has not been recalled. Products may be found to be defective even without a recall; your attorney simply needs to prove that the defect caused your injury and led you to suffer damages.
To prove that a manufacturer is liable for your injuries caused by their product, it must be demonstrated that the manufacturer was negligent or strictly liable for manufacturing, distributing or selling an unreasonably dangerous product. Your attorney will also provide evidence that shows that this defect was, indeed, what caused your injury or loss and resulted in damages. This can include expert testimony from individuals knowledgeable about manufacturing processes and standards along with medical reports detailing the cause and extent of your injuries.
