Frequently Asked
Questions

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), major household appliances cause more than 150,000 home fires each year, resulting in thousands of injuries, hundreds of fatalities, and significant property damage.

Injuries may include burns, electrical shocks, cuts, broken bones, smoke inhalation, and severe property damage caused by fires.

As appliance technology becomes more complex, the risk of design flaws, software failures, or electrical defects increases if proper safety standards are not followed.

Register your appliance with the manufacturer when purchased so you can receive recall notices. If an appliance causes injury before or after a recall, you may still have legal options.

Liable parties may include the manufacturer, parts suppliers, distributors, or retailers involved in producing or selling the appliance.

Compensation may include medical expenses, property damage, lost income, pain and suffering, and wrongful death damages in fatal cases.

We offer free consultations and handle household appliance injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorneys’ fees or costs unless compensation is recovered.
