Product Liability Cases - Cathey & Strain

We have represented victims of defective industrial, agricultural and consumer products ranging from “hi-lift” trucks, cranes, forklifts, lawn mowers, ATVs, jet skis/PCWs, farm equipment, gas ovens, and exercise devices.
We have participated in numerous multi-district litigations around the nation, including L-tryptophan, Gammaguard, PhenFen and Vioxx.
We have handled numerous medical device cases including defective knee and hip replacements, leg-lengthening device, and a needle disposal container without a fill mark – in which a nurse received a needle stick and contracted AIDS, resulting in extreme depression and suicide (leaving behind a young child).
A young computer specialist was blinded when an elastic exercise device snapped/broke and put out his eye. The manufacturer of the device was located in a nation that was not signatory to the Hague Convention and did not answer the lawsuit and had no connection with the U.S. However, a high six-figure sum was recovered from the retailer of the device.
Numerous defective firearm cases involving “gun drop,” in which the handgun fired after being dropped on the ground because of a faulty safety and/or trigger mechanism.
A large recovery was made on behalf of the family of a young woman who was run over by a coworker backing up a defectively designed steam roller – which did not allow proper rear visibility.
