Everyday products can cause serious injuries.

How many times a day do you use an electronic device in your home? How often do you use the stove, the washing machine-even the TV?
It may seem incredible that one of these items could cause irreparable damage to you or your family, but unfortunately, these kinds of accidents happen every day.
When a product malfunctions due to a design flaw of manufacturer's defect, the manufacturer can be held liable for the injuries caused to the consumer. This is commonly called product liability, and can happen for a number of reasons, including:

• Companies trying to cut costs by using cheap construction materials
• Ignoring safety regulations in order to boost production
• Not paying attention to safety when designing the product
• Failing to properly test products before releasing them to consumers

Victims of faulty products in Maine have suffered falls, burns, broken bones and vehicle accidents-and some have even been killed as a result of manufacturer negligence.
If you lost someone you love as a result of a defective product, Lowry & Associates would like to express its sincere condolences. We would be pleased to advise you on your Maine wrongful death claim at no expense to you. Call 888-485-9501 for more information.
Here are just a few everyday products that have been known to cause serious injuries in Maine:

• Drugs and medications. Both over-the-counter and prescription medications can cause harm if not measured properly, have improperly labeled packaging or are printed with incorrect dosage instructions.
• Faulty electronics. Small electronics pose the same dangers as other products, but with the additional risk of causing burns, fires, or electrocution.
• Auto parts. Tires, airbags, windows, seat belts, wiring and child safety seats all have potential to fail if not constructed properly.
• Children's toys. There are already warnings in place to protect young children from toys with small parts, but even "safe" toys can break apart, leaving loose magnets and jagged plastic pieces with the potential to cause choking.
• Defective machinery. Unfortunately, the things we use every day have the potential to cause the greatest injury. Washing machines, clothes dryers, garbage disposals, stoves and ovens-anything with a motor can cause lost fingers, severe burns-or worse.
• Home furnishings. Household goods must be designed for safety just as thoroughly as appliance before being put on the market. Chemically-treated materials have been known to cause lung damage, while cheap building materials and fabrics can be highly flammable.

Your injury claim may seem like an open-and-shut case. Many victims have thought their accident was so obviously the fault of the product-a lamp catching fire, a plastic coating slicing your hand-that the company would settle with them immediately as a result. Companies may deny that the product was at fault, and attempt to prove that the consumer was negligent in some way that led to the accident.
You may have to take time off-but you don't have to take the blame.
At Lowry & Associates, we don't let companies take advantage of their victims. We determine who is liable for your defective product injury and we hold them accountable.
