Product Liability
If you or a loved one have been injured by a faulty or defective product, The Gardner Firm is prepared to assist you with your case.
Product liability claims can be based on negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty. Defective products can be any item that contains a design defect, a manufacturing defect, faulty construction, or poor instructions that fail to adequately warn you of the dangers of the product.
There is no federal products liability law, but product liability lawsuits are often class actions, and can be pursued in federal courts under multidistrict litigation (MDL), which refers to a federal procedure designed to streamline multi-jurisdictional or complex product liability lawsuits.
Product Liability cases require experience, expertise, and significant resources to achieve a successful result. The Gardner Firm attorneys have pursued defective product cases in dozens of jurisdictions across America. The Gardner Firm typically takes product liability cases on a contingency basis, which means you won't be writing us a check every time we write a brief, or hire an expert witness. Contingency clients only pay for our services if we are successful in making a recovery on their behalf. We have the experience and resources necessary to resolve your products liability case.

Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a very rare form of cancer that develops in the lungs, chest or abdomen, and is almost always caused by direct or indirect exposure to asbestos fibers. Mesothelioma symptoms can take up to 40 years to appear. Mesothelioma symptoms vary depending upon the site of development, but include shortness of breath, wheezing, hoarseness, coughing, weight loss, chest pain, tightness in the chest, abdominal swelling, a mass in the abdomen, bowel obstruction, blood clotting abnormalities, anemia and fever.
Because liability laws vary significantly from state to state, it is important to contact an asbestos attorney who has knowledge and experience in pursuing claims across the United States. If you have developed mesothelioma or lung cancer as a result of asbestos exposure, you have the right to receive compensation from the manufacturers of the products that caused your cancer.

Asbestosis
Unlike mesothelioma, lung cancer may have causes other than asbestos exposure, including tobacco use and exposure through second-hand smoke. Recent research has shown that smokers exposed to asbestos products have a dramatically higher chance of developing lung cancer. As a result, lung cancer patients in many states may still hold asbestos manufacturers partially responsible for their lung cancer, even if they smoke.
