Toxic Torts- Chemical Exposure

Products Liability: Unsafe or Defective Products

We believe that the products you buy and use, those products that are in the environment in which you work, play or frequent in your daily life, should be safe. Too often individuals are severely injured and disabled because a product manufacturer fails to warn an individual regarding the proper use of the product, as well as the hazards that may be associated with an accepted use of the product. Tragedies also occur when manufacturers of industrial equipment fail to properly guard individuals from dangers associated with the normal use of their equipment, or where corporate purchasers of industrial equipment remove safety guards and equipment that accompanies the product, thereby exposing workers and others to injury or death.

Suffering an injury or an economic loss because of a defective or unreasonably dangerous product entitles individuals to receive compensation. The sooner an individual takes action for the injuries or damages that may involve product liability laws, the better the opportunity there is to collect monetary damages. In these types of matters, timing is everything. Call Owsley and Associates today.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice can cause devastating or fatal injuries and it is more common than doctors or insurance companies would like you to believe. Recent studies reported by the Institute of Medicine found that medical errors are responsible for 98,000 wrongful deaths each year, more than all Americans killed on all U.S. highways.

When medical malpractice happens, most people think the responsible parties should be held accountable. Unfortunately, accountability in medical malpractice cases is often the last thing those responsible desire, where injuries or death have occurred from medical negligence. Many professionals today actually teach future doctors and nurses to avoid reporting medical mistakes of others or admit to medical malpractice. As a result, in the absence of aggressive legal representation, many medical malpractice suits are buried without the patient treated ever knowing about the mistake, as well as anyone knowing of the people involved in the mistake.

Car Accidents

If you or someone you know has been injured in a car accident, call Owsley and Associates experience and the personal attention you deserve..

Premises Liability

All property owners and businesses have a duty to provide a safe environment for people on their property. If they fail to do so and someone is injured as a result, they may be held responsible for the injured person's medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages. A premises liability case might arise against owners not only of commercial property, but private residences, vacant lots and many other types of properties.

Wrongful Death

The death of a loved one creates a devastating time for the family. The agony of the loss is compounded when death is caused by the wrongful acts of another. Not only is there the mental anguish understandably associated with the wrongful death, but there are often medical or hospital expenses and funeral expenses which must be addressed, as well as the loss of financial support by the decedent. Owsley and Associates are here to help and have an experienced team ready to assist you during this difficult time. If your loved one has been been killed due to the negligence or other improper conduct of another. We will assist you in obtaining just compensation for your injuries and economic losses.

VIOXX

The FDA has now pulled Vioxx off the market. The move came after data from a recent test showed that some patients had a greater risk of having a heart attack or stroke while using Vioxx. Pharmaceutical companies and drug manufactures are responsible for ensuring that their drugs do not harm you or your family. When they do, you may be entitled to compensation.
