Burley Child Bicycle Seats Recall – Product Liability Lawyer

How to Sue Burley for Your Child’s Injuries

Suing Burley for injuries to your child due to a defective bicycle seat requires that you prove that the company acted negligently. The company should have made sure that the bicycle seats were not liable to break or were strong enough to hold the weight of various infants. They may not have done adequate testing beforehand, or the company may have authorized the use of poor materials.

The company can be sued if there was a design error with the item, if there was a manufacturing error with the item, or if there were no hazard signs on the item or its packaging. There was likely a manufacturing error that caused the bicycle seats to be faulty in some way, as these types of seats have been used for years and have patents and designs that have been proven to work.

You will need to provide evidence of the injuries your child suffered. The first thing you should do is take your child to the doctor or to the hospital to get treated for any damages. If there were no injuries, you won’t be able to file a product liability claim. You can ask the doctor to provide you with his statement, request a copy of the medical report and chart, get copies of medical receipts, acquire copies of test results and X-rays, and more.

It is important that you do not wait too long to take your child to get medical treatment. A long time between the injury and the treatment can indicate that the injuries were not that serious, which can be harmful to the claim. Additionally, the injuries may actually worsen over time, and the child’s health can be compromised.

You should take pictures of the defective bicycle seat, the injuries your child suffered, and more.

You can produce receipts, credit card or bank statements, and proof of purchase documents to show that you legally bought the car seat and bicycle seat. If you did not purchase the item, it may be hard to win a settlement.

It is very important that you hold on to the child bicycle seat and do not tamper with it in any way. Do not try to fix it yourself or take it to a store to be repaired. Do not throw it away or return it to the store. If you get rid of it or mess with it, the evidence will be compromised. The company can claim that you clearly caused the issue in the first place if you began to tinker with it. If you do not have it in your possession anymore, then it will be extremely difficult to prove that it was defective.

You may have had eyewitnesses nearby who saw the bicycle seat break and who witnessed the incident. You can ask them for their statements and testimonies to add to your claim. If numerous parties also had the bicycle seats and their children suffered injuries when they broke, you could join a class action lawsuit against the company. The total evidence from all the plaintiffs will be used to show that there were defects, but the sum settlement will be distributed amongst all of the plaintiffs.

All of this evidence and these steps can be overwhelming in the aftermath of an accident. You may not know how to balance taking care of your child with taking legal action. For this reason, we recommend hiring a skilled lawyer with experience in product liability claims. We will work on your case for you while you tend to your child, and we will not stop until we secure you fair compensation.

Statute of Limitations for a Product Liability Claim

The deadline to file a product liability claim in California is two years from the date of the injury. Failure to file a claim within this time period will make your lawsuit void and you won’t be eligible to collect any compensation. The statute of limitations allows both parties ample time to build their cases, but it is recommended that you act quickly – your evidence will be better preserved.

There are a few ways in which the statute of limitations can be pushed past the 2 year deadline. This is possible if the victim is under the age of 18 – he can wait until he turns legal age to sue. However, if the parent choose to sue on the child’s behalf, the statute will remain the same. Additionally, some individuals may be incapacitated after the incident, which can delay the statute as well. The defendant also should be present in California – if he isn’t, the statute of limitations will be on hold until he returns.

Not enough individuals are aware that the statute of limitations exists or that it runs out after 2 years. The primary reason many claims are lost is because the individual does not act quickly enough. If you come to our firm, we will ensure that your case is filed on deadline and that there is no chance of anything being missed.

Compensation from a Lawsuit against Burley

You could potentially earn a fair amount of compensation to cover the numerous damages if your child were hurt in an accident involving the defective child bicycle seats. The value of your claim will largely depend on the injuries your child suffered and other circumstances. We will strive to win you the following damages:

• Medical bills and expenses from the past and future
• Reimbursement of lost income and future missed wages, like bonuses, commission, tips, salary, and more
• Replacement or payment for broken property, like the cost of the bicycle or seat
• Pain and suffering damages for emotional traumas
• Wrongful death damages if your child died due to the incident

We will not give up on your claim until we are satisfied that we have won you every penny you deserve.
