Most people expect a certain level of quality assurance from the products we bring home to use for ourselves or our loved ones. If nothing else, we expect they should be safe to use as intended. Unfortunately, thousands of New Yorkers are injured every year by unsafe consumer products, such as dangerous toys, defective automobile parts, prescription drugs, or defective machinery and equipment. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a defective product of any kind, contact a dedicated New York product liability lawyer from Zlotolow & Associates today.
We are fortunate enough to live in a country where virtually all goods and services we need are readily available. Unfortunately, sometimes these products can cause us harm when improperly designed or manufactured. Our legal team is experienced in holding defective product designers and manufacturers accountable for the damage they cause, and if you’ve been hurt due to a defective product, you can have confidence in turning to a dedicated Long Island personal injury lawyer from our firm to get you the compensation you need.
American drug manufacturers openly state that the medications they sell can injure or even kill you because, under Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, they don’t have to guarantee 100 percent safety. Approval simply means the FDA has agreed that the medication’s benefits outweigh the potential risks.
However, when medications sold to consumers turn out to cause more harm than good, the manufacturer of such bad drugs can be held legally responsible. If you or a loved one has suffered adverse side effects from a bad medication that was prescribed or sold over the counter, the New York City defective drugs attorneys at Zlotolow & Associates can help.
