Defective Consumer Products
Defective products that don’t work as advertised or intended can pose risks to consumer health. They may contain defective parts that cause the product to malfunction and threaten the safety of consumers, many of whom may be children.
Environmental Health
Lawmakers have created specific laws to address environmental issues. These laws are in place to protect the environment from the activities of individuals, businesses, and government entities, and if they are violated there are penalties.
Violation of these laws affect people and the natural environment in a negative manner. When a person or resource is affected by unlawful activity, a lawsuit can be filed against the perpetrator to stop the behavior and/or collect compensation for damages caused by the actions.
Food Poisoning
Every year, 48 million people get food poisoning. That’s 1 in 6 people. Of those 48 million, there are 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths each year – from food poisoning.
These are preventable deaths. If you or a loved one has been a victim, speak out. Help our nation create higher standards for its food supply chain.
Even though the American food supply is generally considered to be safe, 48 million people still get sick from food poisoning every year. When food poisoning is held to be the fault of a commercial establishment like a restaurant or a food processing company, victims may be eligible for compensation.
Workplace Safety
Workplace issues are often related to discrimination or harassment. For instance, a co-worker or supervisor might harass you by demanding you perform tasks outside of your job description in exchange for preferential treatment at work. Or you might be treated differently based on something other than your job performance, such as sexual orientation, race, or age.
These are examples of problems that can occur in the workplace that might warrant legal action.
