Defective Products

We expect manufacturers to produce safe products. When they fail to do so and injuries occur, we get involved in cases like the ones below.

Case Story 1

The Case:

Lydia, a four-year-old girl, suffered a severe brain injury when a television on an unsafe and defective cart fell over on her. Her parents came to Pulley Watson, hoping to find representation and a way to receive fair compensation for her injuries and medical expenses.

The Investigation:

Through a detailed investigation of volumes of internal company documents, Pulley Watson uncovered clear evidence that the television cart did not meet the manufacturer's own tip-over safety standards. Our attorneys also took the step of consulting with Consumer Products Safety Commission engineers to prove that the cart should never have been manufactured and sold as it was. At that time, more than 100,000 carts had been sold.

The Results:

Through a suit involving the cart manufacturer and the distributors, Pulley Watson recovered damages that will pay for all of Lydia's past and future medical, educational, and vocational needs. In addition, she will be provided with a regular income for the remainder of her life.

Case Story 2

The Case:

Rodney, a five-year-old boy, reached up to the top of a service desk in a large warehouse facility. The desk had not been installed properly and fell on him, causing a permanent brain injury.

The Results:

Pulley Watson was able to spare Rodney and his family the emotional ramifications of a trial, and reached a fair out-of-court settlement. The family now has the means to pay for Rodney's life-long medical and psychiatric needs.
