Manufacturers, distributors and retailers whose defective products cause product liability deaths should be held accountable. Consumers and businesses purchase products in good faith, believing the products are safe for their intended uses. Unfortunately, many products contain manufacturing or design defects that can lead to severe injuries.

Manufacturers may not be the only culpable parties when someone suffers a product liability death. During our investigation of your case, we will explore all possible avenues of recovery and consider the roles played by distributors, retailers and others in contributing to the harm caused. If you feel that a dangerous product caused the death of a loved one, talk to a wrongful death lawyer about a product liability claim.

• Cars should be designed for safety, but when our car accident investigation shows evidence of defective auto parts (failed seat belts, defective air bags, dangerous tires) or an uncrashworthy auto design, our attorneys seek to hold manufacturers accountable.
• Commercial and private airplanes and helicopters and all their component parts should be reasonably safe before the aircraft is sold and put to use. When people in the aircraft and on the ground are killed in a crash, our investigation will seek all liable parties.
• When unsafe industrial equipment, such as presses, saws, farm equipment and construction equipment, causes someone's death, our product liability lawyers will work with experts to investigate what happened and why.
• Pharmaceutical companies often take a drug to market with full knowledge that there are questions about safety. If a loved one has died after taking a defective prescription drug, talk to a product liability attorney at Greenberg & Stone.
• Salmonella poisoning and other tainted food problems are typically caused by manufacturers that do not adhere to well-established safety standards required by law. If a loved one died because of an unsafe food product, contact our law firm.

Fight Back Against Companies That Put Profits Before Safety

Manufacturers know that they cannot sell defective products. When someone suffers a product liability death, the family of the deceased may have a claim against the product's manufacturer, distributor, retailer and other parties. A product liability lawsuit holds manufacturers, retailers, designers and other parties responsible for the deaths they cause. Product liability lawsuits also help prevent future deaths. Greenberg & Stone has immediate consultations available. Contact us online or call (888) 893-9846.

When you choose us to represent you after a fatal car accident, we will begin an immediate investigation to determine how the fatal auto accident occurred. Our attorneys and investigators will examine the accident from every angle to determine all potential accident causes and all responsible parties.

• Did a truck or car driver fail to see a motorcycle and turn in front of it? Did a car turn a corner without checking for a pedestrian? Our fatal truck accident reconstruction experts can help determine what happened.
• Was your loved one in a car that was not crashworthy? Every car or truck should be able to withstand a specific amount of force from an impact. A roof-crush accident or a rollover accident can be directly related to a vehicle's design. A car's improper design or unsafe nature can be one of the most important factors in a fatal car accident.
• Did component parts of a vehicle fail and cause the fatal car accident? Improper vehicle design or maintenance may have caused the failure of a seat belt, air bag, brakes or other parts.
• Did the road or highway design cause the fatal car accident? A failure to meet state or federal safety requirements can cause dangerous highways. When roads and highways are not maintained properly, dangerous conditions such as potholes, visibility-blocking foliage, bad signage and poor construction markings can cause fatal car accidents.

According to a recent study by the Surface Transportation Policy Partnership and Transportation for America, Florida has some of the highest wrongful death rates in the nation for pedestrians.

Specifically, these two Washington DC-based nonprofits found that Florida has the dubious distinction of being home to the top four most dangerous metro areas for pedestrians with over 1 million residents (Orlando-Kissimmee, Tampa-St. Petersburg, Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, and Jacksonville).

Federal crash statistics from 2008 (the most current year for which such statistics are available) would seem to support this proposition: 11.1% of all pedestrians and 17.4% of all bicyclists killed in traffic-related accidents in the United States died in the state of Florida.

Both the Surface Transportation Policy Partnership and Transportation for America attribute these findings to the gradual shift in development patterns. Instead of development (both urban and residential) taking place around traditional existing streets, it is now taking place near large, high speed and high volume roads. This translates into an increased risk for those on foot or on a bicycle.

Chief Safety Officer for the Florida Department of Transportation, Marianne Trussell disagrees with this assessment. According to Trussel, it's not the roads that are dangerous, but the negligent behavior of both motorists and pedestrians.

"Drivers are making a right turn and not yielding to pedestrians, or making a right turn on red. Pedestrians are not paying attention to traffic, or they're crossing the street midblock instead of going to the intersection."

Despite these disagreements, both sides seem to agree that at least three causes can be attributed to the higher wrongful death rates for pedestrians and bicyclists in Florida:

• Rapid population growth: Florida is one of the fastest growing states. It has roughly seven times as many people as it did 60 years ago

• Favorable weather: People spend more time walking, running and biking because of the warmer weather.

• Tourism: In 2009, 80.3 million people traveled to Florida for tourist purposes.

Here's hoping the state can find a way to address these truly staggering statistics ...
