The Products Liability Law Practice

Manufacturers have a duty to ensure that the products we use every day – from power tools to children’s highchairs – are safe and free from harmful defects, toxins, or other dangers. There are numerous safety standards and other guidelines in place to protect consumers, but unfortunately, these standards aren’t always met.

For several decades, the experienced legal team at Finz & Finz, P.C., has helped victims of injuries from defective products recover significant compensation. Here are some of our recent victories:

  • $3,300,000 settlement for a worker who was run over and killed by a defective farm tractor.
  • $1,000,000 settlement where a homeowner was seriously injured when the adhesive he was using to install floor tiles ignited.
  • $2,000,000 settlement against the manufacturer of a vaporizer, which started a fire and resulted in the death of an infant and injuries to the infant’s father.
  • $20,520,000 verdict against Philip Morris USA Inc. and American Tobacco for designing cigarettes to addict consumers.

If you were harmed due to a dangerous or defective product, you have a right to hold manufacturers accountable for their negligence and demand compensation. Financial compensation can cover any medical costs related to your injuries, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

We serve greater NYC and the surrounding areas, including Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Long Island, and Mineola.
