Contact our Knoxville office for a free case evaluation. We have represented clients across East Tennessee in a variety of defective product cases:
- Stump grinders — Our advocacy and success at trial led to safety changes in the manufacture of these machines.
- Riding lawnmowers — The technology has long been available to disengage mower blades when the machine is going in reverse. We have collected damages for a number of small children have been killed or maimed by this safety lapse. Some mower manufacturers have resisted change and many older mowers are still out there.
- Heavy equipment — We represented a worker who was 40 feet in the air when the boom cylinder on a bucket truck ("cherry picker") failed. He suffered a ruptured spleen and other injuries which kept him from working for two years. We obtained a large settlement from the manufacturer. In another case, we sued the maker of a loader for brake failure led to severe injury when he was thrown from the vehicle at impact.
- Pre-engineered metal buildings — We represented four construction workers who suffered permanent injuries when the large metal structure they were building collapsed in high wind. Mr. Hurley persevered for four years in a very complex lawsuit to secure a fair settlement.
