Defective Products

Everyone has had experience with consumer products that don’t work properly. Unfortunately sometimes these defective consumer products seriously injure or cause the death of its user. If the victim brings a law suit it is called a “products liability” of “defective product” case.

Turbin Chu have handled dozens of “product liability” cases and have won millions of dollars in Settlements and Judgements for its clients. Toshio Uchima, a Turbin Chu client says that “Richard Turbin worked very hard on my products liability case and won me a large jury verdict. When the manufacturer of the dangerous product (an airport hanger door) appealed the case to the Hawaii Supreme Court Richard Turbin stood by me and won the appeal. I would recommend Richard Turbin to any victim of a dangerous product!” 

Turbin Chu have handled serious dangerous product cases such as automobiles with exploding gas tanks, broken seat backs, dangerous highway designs, defective commercial washers, tofu manufacturing equipment, and a defective shark gun. The Turbin Chu law firm have a record of success with these cases.

Under Hawaii law, an injured claimant may bring an action regarding a product that is unreasonably dangerous in construction or design as well as a product that contains inadequate warnings or that fails to conform with a guarantee or warranty given by the manufacturer. Unfortunately sometimes the products that we spend our hard earned dollars on don't work properly causing injury and in some instances death. Federal and state law protects consumers by offering legal solutions in the event that a product fails to work as warranted, promised, or expected and/or in the event that the product failure results in personal injury.

If you believe that you have been injured by a product, keep as much of the remaining product as possible. Remember to take pictures of your injuries and of the location where the injury occurred. Keep all receipts and materials that you received when you purchased the product. In addition, you should write down everything that you remember about the accident, including names of witnesses immediately after you are injured.
