Home Safety Recalls

Pritzker | Olsen, P.A. , a nationally-known personal injury law firm, represents people injured by products subject to home-safety recalls.  Each year hundreds of people are injured by products subject to home-safety recalls, including coffee pots, fans, dryers, and a variety of other products.  Most of these products involve products that could cause a fire and thus burn injuries, brain injury, and death.  Compensation for injuries associated with home-safety recalls can include medical expenses, loss of income, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and other damages.

When an accident or fire and subsequent injury or death involves a product subject to a home-safety recall, an attorney needs to investigate the facts surrounding the fire to determine if the defect associated with the home-safety recall caused the accident or fire.  This requires an experienced product liability lawyer.  It is important to contact a product liability lawyer as soon as possible after an accident or fire to ensure that evidence is preserved.  To contact a product liability lawyer at Pritzker | Olsen, P.A., please call toll-free at 1-888-377-8900 or submit the firm’s online consultation form.
