Defective Products
Defective products are often the result of either design or manufacturing defects which can result in product liability cases. A faulty design makes the product inherently unsafe to all potential users of the product. A manufacturing defect could be the result of a problem on the assembly line or with the materials used, or some error anywhere along the production line. Defective products that the lawyers at Langdon & Emison have experience with include:
Defective Vehicles
On average, over 6 million automobile accidents occur in the United States every year, causing more than 3 million injuries and 30,000-plus deaths. A typical vehicle defect in design or manufacture can include an Airbag Defect, Car Seat Defect, Child Seat Defect, Fuel System Defect, Seat Belt Defect, Tire Defect or Truck Defect. Our lawyers have extensive experience in automobile accident cases and always consider the possibility that a product defect was a contributing factor to the victim’s injuries. We evaluate every case for potential product defect claims to bring all responsible parties to justice and maximize recovery.

Once every two hours, a train strikes a vehicle or pedestrian at a railroad crossing somewhere in the United States. The lawyers at Langdon & Emison have represented clients nationwide who have suffered serious injuries or lost a loved one in an accident involving a train. We have the knowledge to successfully navigate the complicated lines of state and federal law involved. The firm has successfully obtained multimillion-dollar settlements on behalf of train accident victims and their families, and our attorneys are currently representing several cases involving a railroad collision.

Langdon & Emison attorneys have the knowledge, experience, skills and resources to hold trucking companies accountable and successfully resolve any trucking accident or truck defect accident case.
