Our firm, in conjunction with Beasley Allen, (Attorneys LaBarron Boone and Rick Morrison) litigated and settled a case against an apartment complex in Andalusia, Alabama and its management company.  Our client suffered second and third degree burns over 20% of her body when a fire started on the stove in the kitchen  of the apartment she was renting from the defendants.  Our investigation revealed that smoke detectors did not work, neither did the complex provide fire extinguishers as required by law.  In addition, the fire stop canisters installed under the hood of the stove to extinguish grease fires did not work.  Had the canisters deployed, the grease fire would have been extinguished immediately.

  Our firm continues to pursue claims on behalf of employees who suffer severe bodily injury and/or death within the line and scope of their employment.  We have recently mediated and settled a claim arising from an injury on a road construction work site.  Our client has had to undergo two hip replacement surgeries and has been opined to having a 100% vocational disability. Such claims often fall within the jurisdiction of the Alabama Workers* Compensation Act.  Of course, there may also be OSHA violations, wrongful death and even product liability claims against manufacturers with respect to machinery being utilized by the employee at the time of the injury.

 We have successfully litigated a product liability litigation against a tire manufacturer arising from a tire tread separation causing a SUV roll over and resulting in severe bodily injury and death to our clients.  (Ford SUV with Continental Tires).  We are in litigation, against with Ford SUV and Bridgestone Tires.

Pursuant to demand from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, (NHTSA), a federal agency that monitors automobile safety, Chrysler has agreed to a massive recall involving its Jeep Liberty and Jeep Cherokee.  Our firm was recently retained to look into potential product liability and wrongful death of our client when her vehicle, a Jeep Liberty, wrecked and rolled over.  We will be working with the Law offices of Beasley Allen (Attorneys Labarron Boone, Greg Allen, Cole Portis) in prosecuting these claims.

TOO EARLY TO RECALL: HYUNDAI SONATAS*.model years 2006-2008:

Highway Traffic Safety Administration, (NHTSA), has opened an investigation into possible suspension failures of the Hyundai Sonata sedan, a model that is built in Montgomery, the automaker*s Alabama factory.  NHTSA says it has received six complaints of rear suspension control arm failure due to corrosion in model year 2006 Sonatas.  An estimated 393,000 Sonatas model years 2006-2008 are involved in the investigation.  The concern is that rust in the frame can cause control arm failure, which affects that wheel hubs.
