“I didn’t even think I had any recourse.”

Lew Garrison represented me in defamation of character case that I didn’t even think I had any recourse in. I couldn’t have been happier with the results or the communication that Lew kept throughout the process. If the rest of these guys are anything like Lew, then that’s a hell of a bunch of guys you need on your side!

HOW CAN A BIRMINGHAM PRODUCT LIABILITY ATTORNEY HELP YOU?

When you work with an experienced team of product liability lawyers in Birmingham, you have a high chance of succeeding in your case. Here are just a few of the ways we can help you:

CONDUCT A FREE CONSULTATION

One of the first things we’ll do is to review your case during a free consultation. In your meeting with our Birmingham product liability lawyer, we will assess your damages and determine if you have a valid claim against the parties.

During your consultation, we’ll answer any questions about your case and the legal process. We put our clients first and want to make sure that you feel comfortable.

GATHER RELEVANT EVIDENCE

Another way we can help you with your Birmingham product liability claim is by gathering the evidence you need to prove your case. In a product liability case, you must show that the product’s defect directly caused your injuries and the defects cause the product to be severely dangerous.

We’ll use evidence to prove both of these elements. We’ll gather evidence, such as manufacturer policies and reports, photos of your injuries, and witness statements to support your claim.

TAKE YOUR CASE TO COURT

Our team is fully prepared to take your case to court if we can’t reach a fair settlement with the liable parties. In our 16 years of experience, we’ve taken hundreds of cases to court and won. Overall, we’ve recovered $3 billion in settlements for our clients.
We’re ready to present your case with professionalism and demonstrate the liable parties’ negligence to a judge or jury.

HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO FILE A PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIM IN ALABAMA?

According to the Code of Alabama § 6-2-38, you have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim against the liable party for your product liability case. It’s optimal to file your case as soon as possible so you have longer to build one.

However, you may have a different deadline depending on your case details. You can reach out to our Birmingham product liability lawyer to find out how long you have to file.

WHAT DAMAGES CAN YOU RECOVER IN A PRODUCT LIABILITY CASE?

Our Birmingham product liability attorney can help you recover several damages after a product injures you. You may file a product liability case if a product caused physical damage, such as:

Fractures
Burns
Traumatic brain injury
Spinal injuries
Death

At Heninger Garrison Davis, LLC, can help you or a loved one recover:

MEDICAL EXPENSES

Recovering medical expenses is a fundamental aspect of a product liability claim. When a defective product causes an injury, you’ll likely face medical bills for immediate treatment, ongoing care, and rehabilitation. Our product liability attorney will work diligently to ensure that you are compensated for all your medical expenses related to the injury, including hospital stays, surgeries, prescription medications, physical therapy, and assistive devices.

EMOTIONAL DISTRESS

Emotional distress is often an integral part of a product liability claim. Experiencing an injury due to a defective product can be traumatizing, leading to significant emotional suffering and mental anguish.

We understand the emotional toll such injuries can take and will fight to make sure you receive compensation for your emotional distress. We will use our legal experience to demonstrate how the emotional distress has affected your overall well-being, relationships, and quality of life.

PAIN AND SUFFERING

Pain and suffering refer to the physical and emotional distress experienced due to the injury caused by a defective product. This category of damages aims to compensate you for the pain, discomfort, and limitations imposed on your daily life due to the injury. We will work with medical professionals to document the extent of your pain and suffering, ensuring that you receive fair compensation.

DECREASED EARNING CAPACITY

Decreased earning capacity can be a long-term consequence of injuries caused by defective products. If the injury results in a reduced ability to work or earn income in the future, a proficient product liability attorney from our law firm can help you seek compensation for this loss. We will work with vocational experts and economists to assess the extent of your diminished earning capacity and present a persuasive case to ensure you are adequately compensated.

LOST WAGES

Lost wages are a direct and quantifiable economic loss resulting from injuries caused by a defective product. We will gather evidence such as pay stubs, employment records, and testimony from your employer to support your claim for lost wages.
Recovering lost wages is important to make sure you are not struggling financially due to the injury. Your attorney will negotiate with the responsible parties or their insurers to secure compensation for the income you have already lost and, if applicable, for any future earnings that the injury may compromise.

CAR REPAIR COSTS

If a defective product caused damage to your vehicle, such as in an automotive product liability case, your Birmingham product liability attorney will pursue compensation for car repair costs. This includes the expenses associated with repairing or replacing your vehicle and any other property damage caused by the defective product.

We’ll document the repair estimates, invoices, and any additional costs incurred due to the product defect, ensuring you are fully reimbursed for these damages. Advocating for car repair costs is essential to address the economic impact of the defective product on your property.
