Were you or a loved one recently injured when using a defective product? Are you struggling to pay for the medical care needed for these injuries, as well as other financial hardships that could have been created, like missing work and losing regular income for your household budget? If all of these issues are part of your new reality, you are certain to be searching for a solution that could help cover these expenses and deliver the justice you deserve for the harm you endured. However, the critical information you need to seek justice via a lawsuit is the average cost of hiring a defective product lawyer.
It is commonly known that lawyers in California bill at a rate of between $300 and $400 per hour. And most want to have a lump sum paid upfront that can amount to $5K to $10K. The hourly rate and the upfront legal fees make hiring a quality product liability lawyer out of the realm of possibility for most defective product injury victims. However, that is not the case if you contact Normandie Law Firm. Our firm has a client-friendly payment policy that eliminates all upfront payments that prevent the average victim from getting the expert legal help they need and deserve.
We ask that you be sure to get in touch with our office at your earliest convenience to discuss the facts of your case and learn more about how the legal system is designed to help protect victims like yourself. In addition, our expert staff, who is available 24/7, will schedule a free consultation for you to discuss your case one-on-one with a seasoned defective product lawyer to evaluate the legal merit of your claim. If you have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit due to a defective product injury, our team will advise you of the steps to take to pursue the justice and compensation owed to you by the product manufacturer.
All we ask is that you contact our team today to request your free consultation. Many victims are unaware that there is a time limit to filing their claim with the court. If you wait too long to take legal action, you could lose the right to file a claim and get that much-needed compensation for the harm and damages you sustained.
What Is The Time Limit To File A Defective Product Lawsuit?
Even if you are unaware of the time limit imposed by the Statute of Limitations to file a lawsuit, it still applies to your case and every case that involves a lawsuit. The time limit varies based on the legal matter involved in the lawsuit. However, in all cases, the time limit is final, and there are few opportunities to receive additional time to file your lawsuit once the Statute of Limitations has expired. So victims need to seek legal guidance as soon as possible after suffering an injury due to a defective product to ensure they have time to prepare a lawsuit and seek justice.
In cases involving personal injuries caused by a defective item, victims have two years from the incident date to file their claim with the court. If the case is not filed by the second anniversary of the incident, the victim loses the right to take legal action and hold the manufacturer accountable for the poor quality or defective product that caused them harm. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the time limit to file your lawsuit and other factors that might influence your choice to take immediate action to secure the compensation owed to you for the harm you suffered.
Are You Thinking About Handling The Defective Product Lawsuit Yourself??
It could be hard to imagine that demonstrating to the court that a defective product caused your injuries would be very difficult. However, your perspective could be clouded as you sit in pain on your couch and wish for your body to heal quickly so you can return to work and your normal life.
In reality, your Normandie Law Firm defective product lawyer will first need to determine which of the three categories of product liability apply to your case:
- Is it a design defect?
- Was there a manufacturing defect?
- Or was the culprit a marketing issue or failure to provide an essential warning?
The next step is for your legal expert to meet all the following requirements to win your defective product lawsuit and secure the funds you need to cover your losses and expenses:
- Show that the item was unsafe because of a design or manufacturing flaw or defect
- Demonstrate that you were using the product correctly or for its intended purpose
- Explain that the injuries you sustained were a direct result of the missing warning or defect in the product
- Show that you suffered specific losses or damages directly as a result of the defect of the product in question
Knowing what needs to happen to ensure you win your defective product lawsuit, it could be best to leave this challenging task to the experts who attended years of law school and training to navigate the complexities of the legal system.
Does My Defective Product Lawyer At Normandie Law Firm Get A Percentage Of My Compensation?
It is relatively standard for the average defective product lawyer to get 30% to 40% of the compensation from a product liability lawsuit they litigate. If you think this is a significant amount you are not willing to give away, there are a few more well-known facts you should consider. First, most cases handled by the victim rather than a legal professional do not result in a win for the victim. Instead, they face months of stress and challenges trying to file the documents and gather the proper information, only to have the case thrown out of court or lost to the manufacturer’s expert legal team.
Second, and more crucial to you in light of your desire to cover your expenses, cases handled by legal experts, such as Normandie Law Firm, are found to deliver three times the compensation as a similar case handled by the victim. If you are trying to reconcile the three times as much in compensation with 40% going to the legal team handling the case, let’s sort that out with some simple math.
Imagine you compile your expenses and find that $100K is fair for your lawsuit compensation. So, you file the case and are very fortunate to secure the full amount you requested. Now, imagine Normandie Law Firm handles the same case and delivers $300K to you for your losses and expenses. Of course, you must pay up to $120K in legal fees, assuming your lawyer charges 40%. But you are still left with $180K or nearly twice as much as if you litigated the case yourself. And you faced none of the issues or challenges that come with navigating the legal system without the proper training and education. So spending money on the legal services and expertise of Normandie Law Firm defective product lawyer is actually a very wise decision.
What Items Are Included In My Defective Product Lawsuit Compensation?
As you think more about the cost of hiring a quality lawyer to litigate your defective product lawsuit, there is more you must understand about the compensation you can seek with your lawsuit. The funds you seek will cover much more than medical expenses and lost income. The common items included in a defective product personal injury lawsuit are:
- All medical costs related to the diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation of the injuries caused by the defective item, as well as medication, medical devices, and any future medical expenses required for these injuries – you are also able to include the cost of mental healthcare related to trauma or PTSD caused by the incident or injuries caused by the defective item
- The replacement cost of any personal property that was destroyed or damaged in the incident
- Your lost income if your injuries prevent you from doing your regular job until you are fully recovered or for any time you miss work to attend medical appointments related to the injuries you suffered
- All of your legal costs related to your defective product lawsuit
Now you know that the funds needed to cover the 40% of the compensation going to your defective product lawyer are included in the compensation as a specific line item, and you know that the fees are not coming from the money owed to you. Instead, the product manufacturer will pay the amount allocated to cover your legal expenses as a part of the total compensation you will receive.
