We live in a complex and technical world in which we expect the products we purchase and use to be designed and manufactured in such a manner that they are safe for our use. We also expect that the sellers and manufacturers of products will give us reasonable warnings of dangerous propensities of their products.

Unfortunately, not all designers, manufacturers and sellers of products live up to these expectations and the requirements of our laws with regard to their products. Baron & Associates specialize in representing individuals who have been seriously injured or killed as the result of defective or incorrectly designed products. Our mission in pursuing product liability cases is to obtain just compensation for our injured client and to create an economic incentive for those in the stream of commerce to produce safe products and provide sufficient warning of the dangers of their products, ultimately resulting in the saving of lives.

The three basic ways a product may be defective is by design, manufacture or failure to warn of dangerous propensities of the product. In some situations manufacturers may be liable for punitive damages.

When you buy a product for your home and your family, you expect it to perform properly. Safety and reliability are important concerns in all products, not just inherently dangerous ones like lawn mowers or motor vehicles. The last thing you expect is for your new space heater or stroller to cause injury to a family member. And it shouldn’t matter whether it's an expensive, reputable brand or a budget line. The same rules apply: design and quality standards must ensure safety.

Unfortunately, corporations that design, manufacture, and market the products we use do not always have their eyes on consumers’ well-being. By putting profits before safety, manufacturers sometimes make the wrong decision. Product recalls may seem like responsible action that is taken when problems arise, but by the time of many recalls, there have been too many cases of personal injury and even death.
