Common retail products that are responsible for causing injuries are hunting products (tree stands, harnesses, archery equipment), motor vehicles, ATVs and tools (saws, drills, presses, nail guns, etc.). Preserving the product that caused your personal injuries in the same condition that the product was in at the time of the accident or incident is critical to the success of your case.  In fact, it is the most critical piece of evidence and without that evidence, it will be extremely dificult, if not impossible, for you to maintain a lawsuit.      Try to locate the receipt from the store where you purchased the product.  If a credit card was used, request a copy of the statement from the credit card company showing the sale.  Save the packaging that the product came in, and any instructions or DVDs for asssembly and use of the product.  Do not let anyone make any changes to the product in any way after the accident or incident.  Hopefully, you will have made no changes or modifications to the product before the incident occured, as making such changes may  prohibit you from proving the seller or manufacturer liable.  Keep the product, packaging, instructions and any DVD in a safe and secure place.      Contact a lawyer immediately who has experience in handling product liability cases.  The lawyer will want to review the product, packaging, etc., and will probably arrange for an expert to examine these items.  If the opinion of the expert is favorable and your injuries are signficant, your may have a case against the responsible party.  If you believe you may have been injured by a defective product in Livingston, Monroe, Wyoming, Genesee or a surrounding County, please give Joe Moran and I a call.  We have the experience you can count on  with jury trials in Rochester, Geneseo and througout the western New York area.  Having the right attorney is as critical to the success of your case as is preserving the product that caused you injury.
