It depends, and the determination will be based on whether you suffered any actual damages. While you could potentially sue a company for marketing a product that they did not have in stock or have a substitute for, the more likely scenario is that you may be able to hold them accountable by reporting them, which might cause them to incur penalties. To file a lawsuit, you would likely need to demonstrate that you incurred actual damages.

Typically, yes. Even if the automaker did not knowingly manufacture, market, and ultimately sell you a defective vehicle, you can generally still hold them accountable. If you file a product liability lawsuit, any negligence or misdeeds on the manufacturer’s part are typically considered irrelevant. If they sell you a defective product, you could take legal action.

Lemon laws are designed to protect consumers from financial loss if they purchase a faulty product or service that repeatedly fails to meet quality standards. Although a variety of products and services could be found to be defective, the term “lemon” usually refers to motor vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, and trucks.

Lemon laws require vehicle manufacturers to recall or repurchase vehicles that are found to be defective. The law considers the nature of the defect, the amount of time the vehicle is not available to the consumer due to the mechanical issue, and how many times the vehicle has required repairs.

If you are injured in a domestic flight, typically the NTSB or the FAA will investigate the occurrence that caused the injury and issue a report. Internationally this is not the case. Unfortunately, if you are injured in an international flight, depending on where the incident occurs, a local agency that does not have the resources the NTSB or FAA have may lead the investigation. This could impact all parts of the investigation. Hence, it is imperative to call Funk and Associates right away so we can gather all the information we need to run our own investigation.

There are no common injuries in airplane crashes. Aviation accidents can be catastrophic resulting in hundreds of deaths. However, they can also be minimal depending on the nature of the incident. If the plane is on the ground and there is a minor issue, the injuries can be minor in nature. However, when a plane is in the air and something goes wrong, the results can be devastating.

If you have been injured on a boat, you will likely need medical treatment. While this sounds obvious, it may be more difficult than you think to get the treatment you need. If you do not have health insurance, the medical costs may be too high to afford on your own. If you do have insurance, the doctor you need may not be in your network, which could delay your treatment or care for a lengthy period of time and leave you in agony. That delay in treatment will also negatively affect your case. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you find medical care you need. A lawyer can also speak to the insurance companies involved and keep them off your back so that you can focus on healing, and ultimately obtaining fair compensation for your injury.
