New York Defective Products Lawyers
Personal Injury Legal Help in Albany Since 1950
Any product, from simple household items to complex machinery, may contain design defects that can injure or even kill users. Some products can also become defective and injure users through normal use. Toys, tools, appliances — almost anything can either be designed with a defect built in or be defective because of a manufacturing flaw.
At Friedman, Hirschen & Miller, LLP, we advise clients to retain the defective product if there is a possibility of a claim. This will preserve evidence of the defect and make your case stronger.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective product, contact our product liability lawyers to find out how we can help.

Recent Cases Illustrate Our Effectiveness in Handling Product Liability Cases
The following cases demonstrate our ability to litigate complex product liability cases and to obtain high-value compensation for our clients:
- Our client caught her thumb in a wheelchair lift and developed reflex sympathetic dystrophy, which resulted in loss of use of her entire arm. We won a $6.75 million jury award against the installer and manufacturer of the wheelchair lift.
- Our client suffered a crushed hand and fingers when a heavy door closed improperly. We settled the case against the manufacturer for $1.5 million.
- Our client suffered a crushed pelvis and leg when he fell from an allegedly defective platform while working to widen a road. We settled the case in mediation for $3.5 million.
