Door Anchor Causing Injury

These devices are defective for failing to meet the consumer expectation test. What this means is that the manufacturer failed to foresee consumer use of the product. As a result the device was improperly designed and manufactured, causing significant injuries. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission the device was recalled due to a spontaneous release of the anchor ball. This hazard can cause significant injuries discussed below, which can leave the client permanently injured. When the door anchor suddenly releases the plastic black ball attached to the anchor can shoot forward at extremely high speeds. What this can do is cause devastating injuries to your eyes and head. In some respects the black ball attached at the end of the anchor can act like a bullet, leaving the victim permanently injured. Manufacturers and distributors should have warned users and issued an effective recall immediately, however they failed to do so. When a manufacturer fails to issue a recall they will be liable for both punitive and monetary sums. If you have been injured from an Embark Resistance Cord contact our lawyers at the Downtown L.A.

What is My Embark Resistance Band Case Worth?

How do you handle case value? What elements are used to evaluate case value? When looking at a case in order to determine value we consider three elements, degree of injury, loss of earnings and pain and suffering. Each will be discussed below. We use these three factors to assemble or assign a value to each case we handle. It is important to understand case value so you know how much to settle for when the time comes. Case value is also important in order to know what amount to seek in damages. Degree of injury refers to the type of injury and how significant it is. For example if the injury caused is loss of vision, we will assess how damaging the impact can be. Was it permanent vision loss or mild? Was the entire eye removed or was corrective surgery done? These are all factors we use to determine the degree of injury. As a rule of thumb the greater the injury the more your case will be valued. With Embark Resistance Band accidents a commonly reported injury is permanent loss of vision. This will add significant value to the case. It is our job to make sure that any award for damages includes compensation for any type of future surgeries or medical care. Loss of earnings or loss of income refer to your loss of earnings after the accident. Are you unable to work as a result of the vision impairment? Are you now considered disabled as a result of the Embark Product Defect? These are all factors to consider when dealing with loss of income claims. A loss of income claim refers to your loss of income or earnings after the accident. This takes into consideration future loss of earnings as well as current. For example if you were attempting to seek a professional degree i.e. doctor, physician, architect, therapist… and are now unable to do so, you will be able to pursue damages for these losses. Pain and suffering is the largest component of your case.  This will evaluate what your case is worth due to what you have had to endure. If you were catastrophically injured as a result of the accident, it is likely you have endured significant pain and suffering. Pain and suffering is something we evaluate based on what you went through. It is only after having an in-depth conversation will we be able to really see how this has impacted your life and the life of your family and loved ones. This is how we evaluate damages in a Embark Resistance Cord defect case. Our firm will sort through all the necessary medical information and put together the necessary plan in order to maximize the highest settlement for your injuries.
