A Law Firm That Holds Manufacturers Accountable

When you buy a product at a store or online, you expect it will be safe for you to use. The companies that manufacture products have a responsibility to make sure they are safe for consumers to use before putting them on the market. But all too often, a defective product leaves someone seriously hurt. The Omaha product liability lawyers at Ausman Law Firm, P.C., L.L.O. fight for the rights of victims who have been injured by these defective products.

Manufacturers can be held accountable for any injuries from the use of their product if they were negligent. An injury can occur when using a product because of:

• Defective design – The product was designed in a way that made it dangerous to use. For example, a vehicle designed with a high center of gravity may be prone to rollovers.
• A defective manufacturing process – The manufacturer may have used materials that were not high quality and prone to breaking or malfunctioning.
• Failure to warn of hazards – The manufacturer has a responsibility to provide consumers with instructions on the proper use of the product and to warn against any hazards if misused.

An experienced attorney can help victims of defective products fight back to recover compensation for their injuries.

A Record of Results

Manufacturers and their insurance companies are not likely to cooperate when you file a personal injury claim. They will likely deny responsibility and may suggest that you were to blame for what happened. Attorneys Jason Ausman and Michelle Epstein used to work for insurance companies. They know the strategies insurance companies use to deny responsibility and reduce the amount of any settlements. And they know what it takes to file a successful claim.

We build strong cases that can’t be ignored. Many times, we are able to bring the insurance company to the negotiating table to reach a favorable settlement. But if a deal can’t be reached, we’ll be ready to fight your case in court. We love to litigate, and have a record of legal victories that has helped clients recover damages and rebuild their lives.

Victims of a defective product injury can seek compensation for medical expenses, loss of income, emotional distress, pain and suffering and other damages. These cases often take time to resolve. But you don’t have to worry about paying us up front. That’s because we work on a contingency fee basis. That means you owe us nothing until we recover compensation for you.
