New Orleans Defective Product Attorneys: Defective Product, Dangerous Products & Product Liability Claims in Louisiana
My name is Mike Gertler. I’m the managing partner of the Gertler Law Firm. The attorneys at this law firm are very experienced New Orleans defective product attorneys, having handled cases throughout southern Louisiana as well as other states.
In Louisiana, a defective product or dangerous product, is defined as one that causes injury or death as a result of a design or construction flaw, lack of proper labeling or warning, or breach of the manufacturer’s express warranty.
The manufacturer of the defective product that caused the injury or death, as well as those involved in the sale, may be liable for the injury or death and subject to a product liability lawsuit.
I’d like to tell you a brief story about one of our recent defective product cases. I hope it will provide you a sense of our firm’s professionalism and commitment to its clients.
In the not too distant past, I received a call from R.T. (To protect the family’s identity I’ll use their initials). Her husband, F.T., had been an acquaintance of David Gertler, the founder of our law firm.
F.T. had been admitted to a local hospital and had passed away while undergoing treatment for heart failure and other ailments.
I scheduled a meeting with R.T. and her adult children to get the details of what had happened while F.T. was in the hospital.
At the meeting, it was obvious that the family was heartbroken and very emotional. I learned that F.T. had a pacemaker implanted as a protective measure to keep his heart beating.
But after the procedure, the pacemaker did not operate correctly and his heart stopped. The consequences were fatal – brain death which ultimately led to him passing away.
To make matters worse, the physicians did not respond to the emergency condition as they should have. And his son, who was at his side, had to alert the hospital staff when he noticed his Dad was having problems. Unfortunately, it was too late and F.T. died.
The entire family was extremely upset, especially the son who watched his dad pass away.
The family felt sure that F.T. was not treated appropriately, nor did his pacemaker work properly. They wanted to know if there was sufficient evidence for a legal claim.
After reviewing the case in more detail, I filed Product Liability Lawsuits and medical malpractice lawsuit on behalf of the family.
I met with the family many times during the case to review the progress and answer their questions.
The end result – it was settled prior to trial.
The settlement was confidential, but I can say this – it was significant. R.T. and her children now have closure.
If you or a family member have been injured by a defective product – or even worse, the defective product caused the death of a loved one, don’t hesitate to call us.
You’ll get the same compassion and understanding that R.T. and her family received…. and we’ll aggressively pursue those responsible for your injury or loss.
