Winston-Salem Product Liability Lawyers

Dangerous and Defective Products Can Cause Injuries

Manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of poorly designed or defective equipment may be held responsible for injuries and death resulting from the product’s use. Demonstrating that a hazardous product was responsible for an accident, however, requires putting complex, technical information into a simple, clear, and compelling form that members of a jury will understand.

At Comerford Chilson & Moser, L.L.P., our attorneys have successfully represented clients against large insurance companies, corporate giants, the federal government, and foreign governments and companies in product liability cases. 

Aviation Accidents Often Result from Defective Products

Unless they are caused by human error, aviation accidents often can be traced to manufacturing or design defects, including those involving:

  • Hydraulic systems
  • Navigational equipment
  • Wing design
  • Air frames
  • Helicopter rotors
  • Propellers
  • Oil lines 
  • Engines

In addition to demonstrating that defective equipment caused the accident, it is necessary to counter claims that there may have been a breach of warranty on the part of the aircraft owner, operator, or maintenance provider.

  • Robinson Helicopter Company was found responsible for a crash near Raleigh that was caused by an alleged design defect in a two-bladed helicopter.
