How Hiring a Law Firm Is Made Affordable

Our firm has built a reputation for helping injury victims. That isn’t done by insisting that victims come up with large sums when they may not even be working. When we accept a product liability case, we do so by offering payment options to get you started right away.

Payment Options

When we accept your claim, you will be offered a contingency agreement. Our legal team will manage your claim and cover costs in exchange for a percentage of your settlement. It is a simple arrangement that encourages us to do as much for your claim as possible. You won’t owe us if we can’t get you a positive result by securing fair compensation. So, there are no financial risks when you work with us.

Complimentary Review

We offer our new clients a complimentary case review. Do you wonder if you have a valid claim? Ask one of our legal representatives when they examine the details of your case. We can offer suggestions, advise you on your legal options, and approximate your chances of success. Once you feel fully informed, the decision is yours.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Are My Injuries Worth Pursuing a Product Liability Claim?

Louisiana code RS 9:2800.54 details the requirements for a product liability claim. It describes three basic tenants that you, the plaintiff, must prove.

  1. Your injuries or damages occurred from reasonably expected use
  2. The design, ingredients, composition, or any part of the product is dangerous
  3. The product was dangerous in the form it left the manufacturer

These rules are part of the Louisiana Products Liability Act.

Who Could Be Held Liable

There may be several parties involved and responsible for your damages. Here are a few examples of the many parties that could be part of your case:

  • Component manufacturers
  • Assembly manufacturer
  • Transportation company
  • Wholesaler
  • Retail store
  • White glove delivery assemblers

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.

Do Product Liability Lawsuits Have Time Limits in Louisiana?

Yes, there are time limits for filing these lawsuits in Louisiana. The statute of limitations determines the time limits. Louisiana Civil Code § 3492 states you have one year to file your lawsuit before the court will bar you from pursuing compensation.

Standard Types of Product Liability Lawsuits

Most product liability cases fall under three distinct categories. However, a product manufacturer can be held liable for failing in more than one way.

Defective Design

Products are often designed on 3-D software long before they are manufactured. If the product you were injured by was made correctly but still caused you injuries, it could be due to a design flaw.

Manufacturing Mistakes

Every manufacturing company works hard to maintain its quality control. However, sometimes a flawed product gets past the inspection process. If the product was made through a typical manufacturing process but had a severe missed defect, it is called a manufacturing mistake. Contaminated foods might be categorized as manufacturing mistakes.

Ineffective Labeling

How products are packaged and labeled matters. Warning labels are required for items that could cause harm if misused. Government agencies sometimes demand specific warnings and labels on products like cigarettes or alcohol. Instructions for adequately handling the item should always be included.

We Have What It Takes to Represent You

Choosing an effective legal advocate is essential for a successful claim. You also must know the law firm you choose has the necessary resources to stand up to a large corporation. Our knowledge of product liability law and its applications is essential, as well as our determination to hold all parties accountable.
