Georgia Products Liability Lawyer Seeks Justice for Injured Clients

Griffin attorney works to hold makers of defective items accountable

At home and on the job, we go through our days using a wide range of manufactured products, relying on the fact that these items are safe to use. However, if a defect exists, significant harm can occur without any warning. Located in Griffin, Evans & Evans Attorneys at Law, P.C. pursues relief for Georgians who have been hurt by products that have been designed, manufactured, sold or labeled incorrectly. For more than 35 years, our Griffin products liability lawyer has asserted the rights of people who’ve been hurt by unreasonably dangerous products. These cases often turn on technical evidence or expert testimony. We have the practical knowledge and network of experts to make the strongest possible case for the damages you deserve.

Georgia law firm has the skill and experience to take on major manufacturers

Attorney Larry Keith Evans is an accomplished legal advocate who has won strong results in products liability cases against major corporations and smaller manufacturers alike, including a $2 million verdict, the first award of punitive damages in this area following the enactment of Georgia’s tort reform legislation. This gives our clients an edge in personal injury and wrongful death litigation associated with:

• Defective household products — We have obtained compensatory and punitive damages from defendants in various claims involving defective household products. Whatever type of evidence is necessary, our firm gathers the facts, reviews the relevant medical records, consults with engineering experts, and presents your case clearly and convincingly.
• Recalled items — Our firm’s work on behalf of a client resulted in a nationwide recall of a large manufacturer’s faulty dump trucks. Whether the case involves a recall that has already been announced, such as actions involving defective tires or air bags, or a problem that hasn’t yet been recognized publicly, we can help.
• Microscopic flaws — You might have been hurt in an incident where you’re not sure if a defective item was a contributing cause. Sometimes, significant flaws are microscopic or hidden, even if the product is very large. We’ll make a thorough review of the circumstances in your case to see if you can collect appropriate compensation through a trial or settlement.

Though Georgia’s statute of repose seemingly bars suits involving products sold more than 10 years  before they were found to be defective, exceptions do exist. In a free initial consultation, we’ll explain all of the laws that apply to your situation.

Experienced liability litigator advises survivors on wrongful death claims

Sometimes, an unsafe product causes or contributes to the death of an unsuspecting user. Though true justice can never be achieved in these cases, Georgia law does permit certain surviving family members to seek compensation that addresses some aspects of their loss. When making a demand for damages, our firm conducts a thorough review to determine the funeral costs, medical expenses and income that the victim would have earned throughout their lifetime. We also understand how intangible items, such as the value of the decedent’s care and companionship, is typically calculated in these matters.
