Bicycle Recall Lawsuit:
Lawyer for Investigation and Lawsuit
Our law firm has been instrumental in getting defective products recalled. We have won millions for accident victims and their families, including a $3,750,000 settlement for a man whose leg was amputated after an accident with a defective motor bike.
When our attorneys are hired to represent someone injured on a bicycle or the family of someone killed on a bicycle, they immediately begin an independent investigation, which includes the following:
- Examination of the bicycle by our attorneys and technical experts
- Request for information from the bicycle manufacturer, including any documentation mentioning the make and model of bicycle involved in the accident
- Interview of the bicyclist, if alive
- Interview of witnesses
If a bicycle accident is caused by a defective bicycle part (face plate, handlebars, wheel mechanisms, brakes), the victim and his or her family can file a product liability lawsuit. A bicycle part is defective if it is not reasonably safe for its intended use. An intended use of a product includes all those uses a reasonably prudent person might make of the product, bearing in mind its characteristics, warnings and labels.
Companies sued in bicycle recall product liability cases may include the manufacturer of the defective bicycle part, the manufacturer of the bicycle, the wholesaler or distributor of the bicycle part and bicycle, and sometimes the retailer of the product.
There are three kinds of bicycle accident product liability cases:
- A design defect (the product was manufactured as intended but it was inherently unsafe),
- A manufacturing defect (the design of the product was adequate but this particular product was not made correctly), and
- A failure to warn or instruct (the instructions for and warnings about use of the product were inadequate).
In practical terms this means the manufacturers have a duty to "design out" dangers inherent in the bicycle and all parts used to build it. If a defect cannot be designed out, the manufacturer has to guard against such hazards. If the danger cannot be designed out or guarded against, the manufacturer must warn and instruct users of dangers inherent in the product.
