When a manufacturer, distributor or seller places a defective or dangerous product into the commercial world, they show an utter disregard for us and our families. We trust that products we use will be safe for us and our children, yet each year thousands of people are injured by faulty or unsafe products. Sadly, according to the Consumer Protection Safety Commission, 80 percent of fatalities associated with home appliances or furniture defects involve children younger than ten years old! We hold the deep conviction that people are more important than profit.
When you or someone you know is injured as a result of a dangerous or defective product, you can bring a legal claim against the manufacturer, distributor and/or seller of that product for monetary damages with a product liability lawyer.

Do You Have a Product Liability Case?
Although we believe that powerful corporations provide us with some of the finest commercial goods available in the world, there are a wide variety of products that can be defective. Car seats with handles that break, vehicles with airbags that did not deploy and improperly tested drugs that cause injury are all examples of defective products. You have the right to expect the highest standards of safety when it comes to the products you use.
At Trantolo & Trantolo, our product liability attorneys work hard to protect your rights as a consumer and to ensure that high standards of product safety continue. When manufacturers violate our trust and faith in their product safety, we fight hard to seek justice, compensation and improved safety standards. Improved seat belts, airbags, child cribs and child car seats are all examples of improved products that are the direct result of trial attorneys who brought suit against their negligent manufacturers. Our attorneys also represent plaintiffs in the following types of product liability claims:
Our family does not step aside for the bullies of the corporate world. In product liability lawsuits, we fight in their playground, and we win.
