Thomas Lane Jr. can be an excellent resource for you. Please contact our office for a free consultation and case evaluation.
Have You Been Seriously Injured by a Defective Product?
A range of laws exists to protect Virginia consumers against defective products. Essentially, all products must be safe for their intended use, and those who design and sell any product may be held liable for injuries or deaths their unsafe products cause. Some of the more common sources of successful product liability cases include:
- Defective automobile components
- Defective farm machinery
- Unsafe drugs or medical devices
Medical Malpractice Lawsuits Involve Applicable Standards of Care
Just as designers, manufacturers and distributors have a responsibility to ensure their products are safe, medical professionals have a legal obligation to provide ordinary and prudent care for every patient they treat. Over a 20-year career effectively handling many serious personal injury cases, Virginia lawyer Tom Lane has encountered numerous cases of medical malpractice involving errors such as:
- Orthopedic surgeons' negligence in performing back surgeries, including mistaken removal of a healthy disc
- Failure of a surgeon to exercise proper care in a laparoscopic procedure, leading to life-threatening peritonitis
- A range of other surgical and diagnostic errors that violate applicable standards of care and have serious harmful consequences
