Langdon & Emison’s reputation as a national leader in auto product liability litigation comes from 30 years of taking on the world’s largest auto manufacturers in courtrooms from coast to coast, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
When someone is catastrophically injured or killed in a motor vehicle accident, never assume the injuries are just the fault of the driver who caused the accident. Focusing solely on driver negligence ignores the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the accident or made the injuries worse.
Unfortunately, it can be easy for attorneys to focus only on the negligence of the driver and quickly settle a case for the insurance policy limits, which can be as low as $15,000 and miss the real potential to pay for a client’s full recovery.
Unlike other law firms, Langdon & Emison evaluates every auto accident case for a potential product defect, which has allowed us to obtain multi-million dollar verdicts for our clients in high-profile auto defect cases, such as:
Case Example
The Mason family purchased a fan at Wal-Mart that caught fire and burned a 14-month old baby to death while sleeping in the room. Our legal team successfully showed the fan did not have a cut-off device that would have kept it from overheating and catching fire. A Jackson County, Mo., jury awarded a verdict of $6 million for the family of the young child.
We don’t always know if an auto defect caused an accident – or caused someone’s injuries to be worse than what they should have been – but we will evaluate every case for a potential defect at no cost or obligation to you. A few examples of when an auto product defect could be in play:
