Defective Product Cases

A product liability claim requires the plaintiff to demonstrate a design defect, a manufacturing flaw or a failure to warn of dangers. George Allen Moore is a seasoned trial lawyer with the skills to win these complex cases. Our firm also invests in technical expertise to pinpoint the product flaw. Representative cases include:

• A worker was fatally injured after a factory machine's safety mechanism was disabled to increase efficiency; he was grabbed by the arm and pulled into the machine. We sued both the employer and manufacturer on behalf of his family.
• A defective seat belt that was not properly tethered extended six to eight inches too far in a crash, causing fractured vertebrae and multiple facial injuries to our client. We recovered damages from the automaker.
• A plumber installed a hot water heater and set the thermostat too high. We won compensation for horrible disfigurement when the client suffered second- and third-degree burns to the chest.
• A single-engine Cessna airplane stalled shortly after take-off, crashing from 200 feet and bursting into flames. The pilot and his girlfriend suffered serious burns and extreme disfigurement. Johnston, Moore & Thompson purchased the wreckage and hired an aeronautics expert, who traced the accident to a fuel tank defect. We obtained a seven-figure settlement from the manufacturer.
• A pleasure boat capsized, drowning six passengers. We hired naval architects, who identified several design defects: it was too tall for its width, lacked maritime doors, and the emergency exit lights did not operate when submerged. We also hired our own weather expert to refute the defense assertion that a "microburst" storm caused the accident.
