When shopping we assume that the manufacturer has produced a safe and effective product. We buy them in good faith, yet many dangerous products injure and kill thousands of people each year. If you live in western New York or the Southern Tier and have been injured by a defective product, call an attorney with a track record of proven experience in products liability.

Product Liability


What is a products liability claim?

If you have been injured or made seriously ill by a manufactured product, you may have a claim against the manufacturer or seller of that defective product.  The injuries caused by defective products are nearly as varied as the products themselves.  Products liability cases are usually very complicated, and quite expensive to prosecute.  Accordingly, not every injury caused by a defective product is worth pursuing.  However, it is always advisable to consult with an experienced attorney before attempting to make that judgment on your own.  In order to win your case your lawyer must be well-versed in New York's products liability laws.  You can read about what it means to prosecute a products liability personal injury case by requesting a free copy of my book "An Insider's Guide to Avoiding Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Injury Case" by calling 1 (800) 351-2953.

If you have been injured, have an illness, or if a loved one has been killed by a dangerous or defective product you may have the right to be fairly compensated. 

At Cannon Law, we have the experience you need to handle any products liability case.  We also have extensive knowledge of how jurors perceive products liability claims in Western New York and the Southern Tier.  Knowing how jurors react to such claims is critical to the successful prosecution of these types of cases.  Our goals, like your own, are to obtain proper compensation for your losses and to prevent needless injuries and deaths in the future. 

Which products most often cause harm?

That's hard to say, as the list of defective products which give rise to products liability cases is extensive and diverse.  Any product may qualify, as many unscrupulous manufactures often sacrifice quality in order to save money.  They may even be well aware of a defect in their product yet continue to sell it.  These unsafe business practices put millions of Americans at risk everyday.  That being said, some of the more common dangerous products include:

When should I contact an attorney?

If you believe that you or some one you love has been injured or killed by a defective product you must act quickly.  Not only does prompt reporting help ensure that others are not harmed, it can make or break your case, as the product that caused your injury should be collected and secured for future use in Court.  If the product that caused your injury is not promptly secured and preserved, you may have no case.  At Cannon Law, we are dedicated to thoroughly investigating each and every product liability case to determine if you have a claim.

Our investigation may include going to the scene of the accident, securing the defective product, talking to witnesses, securing identical products for examination and testing, and retaining the best experts to examine the products and testify at trial, if necessary. 

Equally important, prompt action is necessary to get the word out about dangerous products so that others don't suffer the same injury that you suffered.  Reporting dangerous products and prosecuting in court the companies responsible for selling them can and does save many lives every year.

If you or a loved one has been injured and you believe a dangerous product may be to blame, please do not hesitate to call Cannon Law today at 1 (800) 343-6918.
